CHEDDAR AND PEPPER SCONES

Provided by Fran McCullough

Categories     Bread     Milk/Cream     Breakfast     Bake     Cheddar     Sugar Conscious     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 15 large scones or 40 small ones

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 cup grated cheddar cheese (4 ounces)
1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper, or to taste
3/4-1 cup buttermilk or plain yogurt
Milk for glazing

Steps:

  • Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt into a large bowl. Cut in the butter and cheese. Stir in the pepper.
  • Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and set a rack on the upper-middle level. Grease a heavy baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
  • Gently stir enough buttermilk or yogurt into the flour mixture to make a soft, sticky dough. Gather the dough into a ball with your hands. On a well-floured surface, roll or pat the dough into an 12-x-8-inch rectangle approximately 3/4 inch thick. Try not to handle the dough too much, and don't worry if it looks rough.
  • Using a large spatula or a couple of spatulas, transfer the dough to the baking sheet. Use a dough scraper or knife to cut the dough into 40 squares, each 1 1/2 inches. Separate the squares slightly on the baking sheet. Brush each square with a little milk. (Or cut circles out of the dough with the rim of a glass or a biscuit cutter and transfer them to the baking sheet.)
  • Bake the scones for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are brown on the bottom and very lightly brown on top. Don't overbake; break one open to test for doneness. Transfer to cooling racks to cool briefly and then serve as soon as possible.
  • To serve: The scones are still good when cool, but they are best when just out of the oven. Butter and scrambled eggs are appropriate accompaniments.

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups cake flour
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 teaspoon salt
1/3 teaspoon baking soda
1 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
1/3 cup heavy cream, plus more to brush on scones
1/3 cup crème fraîche
1/2 cup bacon, cooked and diced
1 1/4 cups white cheddar, grated, plus more for the top
1/4 cup Chives, minced
black pepper

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, add both flours, sugar, baking soda, and baking powder; mix on low speed to combine. Add butter, a little at a time, followed by salt. Continue to mix until the mixture has a "sandy" texture, about 5 minutes. Add heavy cream and crème fraîche, followed by the cheese, bacon, and chives. Continue mixing until just combined.
  • Place dough on a cutting board and wrap in plastic. Using a rolling pin, shape into a rectangle (about 7x9-inches) and chill for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 325 F. Once dough is chilled, cut it into rectangles and place on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush tops with heavy cream and add more cheese. Finish with freshly grated black pepper. Bake for 20 minutes.
  • Scones are done when golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Tips:

  • For a crispier scone, brush the tops with milk before baking.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing will result in tough scones.
  • If you don't have peppered bacon, you can use regular bacon and add some black pepper to the dough.
  • Scones are best served warm, but they can also be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

These peppered bacon and cheese scones are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack.
