Cheese Scones
When I was a young girl and staying with my nan on the weekends she would often bake with me. I remember the feel of the oversized apron tied around my waist, folded in the middle so that it wouldn’t trip me up.
One of the staple things we would bake together was scones; plain, fruit or cheese, all these would be made with her big hands over my little ones.
So, when I was looking for a tasty bake to make with my boys then cheese scones were a favourite choice.
The recipe and method are straightforward and ideas for moulding together quickly for a warm and wholesome savory treat.
As the title says, these are seriously tasty and what's more is that they can be made in the blink of an eye!
- 200 g Plain Flour
- 3 tsp Baking Powder
- Half tsp Salt
- 50 g Butter
- 100 g Cheddar Cheese
- 20 g Parmesan Cheese optional
- 60 ml Cold Water
- 60 ml Milk
- 1 Egg used for glazing
-
Pre heat oven to 200 ºC (185 ºC if using a fan oven)
-
Measure and put the Flour, Baking Powder and Salt into a mixing bowl
-
Combine well
-
Add the Butter and rub together with the tips of your fingers until it looks and feels like wet sand
-
Grate the Cheese and mix through with a large spoon
-
Add the Water and Milk
-
Work together with your hands but don’t hand longer than necessary
-
Put out onto a lightly floured surface
-
Press down to a thickness of 2cm and cut out in rounds approximately 5cm wide
-
Put onto a baking tray and cook for 15mins until golden
-
Allow to cool a little on a wire rack.
