Time 40m

Yield 12 scones

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large egg
1/2 cup cold buttermilk
1/4 cup cold apple cider or 1/4 cup unsweetened apple juice
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup yellow cornmeal, preferably stone-ground
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/2 cup finely diced dried apple (can also use fresh diced apples)

Steps:

  • Getting reading: Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat.
  • Stir the egg, buttermilk and apple cider together.
  • Whisk the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a large bowl. Drop in the butter and, using your fingers, toss to coat the pieces of butter with flour. Quickly, working with your fingertips or a pastry blender, cut and rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture is pebbly. You'll have pea-size pieces, pieces the size of oatmeal flakes and pieces the size of everything in between - and that's just right.
  • Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir with a fork just until the dough, which will be very wet and sticky, comes together. If there are still some dry ingredients in the bottom of the bowl, stir them in, but try not to overdo the mixing. Stir in the grated cheese and dried apple.
  • Still in the bowl, gently knead the dough by hand, or turn it with a rubber spatula 8 to 10 times. Then, because the dough is very sticky, the easiest thing to do is to turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface, pat it into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick and, using a dough scraper or a chef's knife, cut it into 12 roughly equal pieces; place on the baking sheet. Alternatively, you can just spoon out 12 equal mounds onto the baking sheet. (At this point, the scones can be frozen on the backing sheet, then wrapped airtight. Don't defrost before baking - just add about 2 minutes to the baking time.).
  • Bake the scones for 20 to 22 minutes, or until their tops are golden and firmish. Transfer them to a rack and cool for 10 minutes before serving, or wait for the scones to cool to room temperature. (Or you can let them cool for about 3 minutes, and enjoy them while the cheese is still warm and gooey!).

Tips:

  • Use cold butter: This will help to create flaky scones. If you don't have time to chill the butter, you can freeze it for 15 minutes before grating it.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the scones tough. Mix the ingredients just until they come together.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the scones to hold their shape and rise properly.
  • Bake the scones until they are golden brown: The scones should be baked until they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve the scones warm: Scones are best served warm, but they can also be served at room temperature.

Apple cheddar mini scones are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They are perfect for a crowd or for a quick grab-and-go meal. With their flaky texture, sweet and tangy flavor, and cheesy goodness, these scones are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
