Cheese Scones
Cheese Scones
Serves | 9 |
Ingredients
- 400g Self Raising Flour
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 110g Unsalted Butter (cubed)
- 150g Mature Cheddar (grated)
- 180ml Buttermilk (plus extra for glazing)
- Extra cheese for topping
Directions
1. | Pre-heat the oven to 200°C / 400°F / Gas Mark 6 with a baking sheet inside |
2. | Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a mixing bowl |
3. | Add in the grated cheese and rub into the flour until well combined |
4. | Add cold cubed butter, and using a pastry cutter or your finger tips, rub the butter into the flour until it resembles large breadcrumbs |
5. | Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add in half the milk then gently mix together. A little at a time, add just enough of the rest of the milk until you have a soft firm dough. It should not be sticky |
6. | On a floured surface, pat the dough into a rectangle and roll out until it reaches about 2-2.5 centimetres thick |
7. | Slice the dough length way into three, then width way into three, giving you nine pieces |
8. | Place on the baking tray, then glaze just the tops with milk and sprinkle a little of the grated cheese |
9. | Bake for 10-15 minutes or until risen and golden |
