Chris's Cheese Scones

How To Make The Perfect Cheesy Scones
These are definitely my favorite scones with loads and loads of cheese. I prefer strong red cheddar, but you can use anything you like. Also, these scones can be made with yogurt, buttermilk or cream, that is one of the good things about fresh bread. Chefs Tip: If you leave the cheese out of this recipe it makes a lovely white scone for the morning, with blackberry jam or crispy bacon.

20 small scones
Ingredients
-
- 375g self-raising flour
-
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
-
- 1 egg
-
- Pinch of salt
-
- Pinch of white pepper
-
- 150ml milk

Directions

Mix all the dry ingredients together

Whisk the egg with milk

Rub in the butter with the dry ingredients

Add your cheese

Add the liquid slowly and mix with your hands, mix gently and slowly. It’s important to try not to over mix

Once the mix comes together, turn out onto a floured surface, gently press out with your fingers (do not use a rolling pin as will remove all the air) until it’s about 1 inch thick and cut out with a scone cutter

Place onto a non-stick baking tray, place into a pre-heated oven (180 degrees) for 12-14 minutes
