Indulge in some cheese scones for afternoon tea or as part of a picnic. They're also great served alongside soups and you can freeze them for later use

Provided by sarahheron

Categories     Afternoon tea, Side dish, Snack, Supper

Time 35m

Yield Makes 5-6

Number Of Ingredients 7

225g self-raising flour, plus extra for dusting
pinch of salt
pinch of cayenne pepper
1 tsp baking powder
55g chilled butter, cut into cubes
120g mature cheddar, grated
90-100ml milk, plus 1 tbsp for glazing

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 with a large baking tray inside. Sift the flour, salt, cayenne pepper and baking powder into a bowl, then sift again to make sure the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  • Add the butter to the bowl and combine with your fingertips to make breadcrumbs. Sprinkle 100g of the cheese into the breadcrumb mixture and rub together until evenly distributed. Try not to mix too much as the heat from your hands may start to melt the butter.
  • Make a well in the centre of the mixture and pour in enough milk to give a fairly soft but firm dough. Do not pour in all the milk at once as you may not need it all to get the right consistency.
  • Lightly flour a surface and roll out the dough to approximately 2cm thick. Cut out the scones with a medium (about 8cm) cutter, then put on a sheet of baking parchment, glaze with a little milk and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Slide onto the hot oven tray.
  • Bake in the oven for 15-20 mins or until golden brown and cooked through.

Tips:

  • Properly measure your ingredients: Baking is a precise science, so measuring your ingredients accurately is crucial. Use a kitchen scale for the most accurate results.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your scones will taste. Look for fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible.
  • Work the dough gently: Overworking the dough will make your scones tough. Be gentle when mixing and kneading the dough.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps to develop the flavor and texture of the scones. Make sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Bake the scones in a hot oven: A hot oven will help the scones to rise quickly and evenly. Preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking.
  • Don't overbake the scones: Overbaked scones will be dry and crumbly. Bake the scones just until they are golden brown on top.
  • Serve the scones warm: Scones are best served warm from the oven. You can also toast them lightly before serving.

Conclusion:

Golden cheddar cheese scones are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect scones every time. These scones are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
