I got to make my Cheese Scones the other day and we both
enjoyed them for our lunch. I was asked
if I had a recipe, so we had them again so I could take photographs!
It is not an exact recipe (that is, measurements don’t have
to be exact), and this amount is to serve two of us. If there are more people, I just double or
treble the amounts involved.

| Ready to eat |
First of all, preheat your oven to 210/220 degrees Celsius. Scones need a very hot oven to cook in.
Into a large bowl, place 1 cup of white flour, ¼ cup
cornflour (I think it is called maize starch in some countries?), a pinch of
cayenne pepper, and 2 tsp of baking powder.
Grate in about 50g (around 2oz) of cheddar cheese and roughly
rub it in with a pastry cutter or your fingertips (it won’t go crumb-like as it
does when you rub in butter, as cheese is much harder).
 |
| Ready to add milk |
Mix in some milk, usually around ½ cup, adding it gradually
until the dough comes together in a soft ball.
Turn out onto a floured board, flatten the dough and cut
into pieces.
Place on an oven tray (I don’t grease it) and sprinkle a
little more cheese over the top.
Bake for about 12 minutes in a very hot oven until scones
have risen and are turning golden on top.

This is my recipe, tweaked over the years to give a result
that our family likes – I hope you enjoy them as well 😊
Margaret.
That pastry looks just so fabulous

Your biscuits look delicious. I must try adding some corn starch next time I make scones.
ReplyDeleteOh to sample your cheese scones!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe. It's different, cheese and no butter. Must try it
If I lived close by I would knock on your door and beg shamelessly!
ReplyDeleteI make cheese scones too. Love them with a bowl of soup!
ReplyDeletecan't be cause I can not eat gluten. but you eat a couple, for me. -smile-

Okay, ship those to me immediately! Ha ha, I'll be trying that recipe this week, thanks for sharing. Mary
ReplyDeleteMy kids used to say Mum's scones weren't too bad if you got them hot with lots of butter but that was generous. My mother once watched me prepare them and told me I "worried" them too much, like a rogue sheep dog. I do love a good scone though.
ReplyDeleteThese scones look so delicious! I'm going to try them.
ReplyDeleteThey sound yummy. I’m going to give these a go thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteyour scones looking soooo good, for some reason I just can't make them, btw I love your new header.
ReplyDeleteThis looks fabulous and delicious! Thanks for sharing :)

Oh, these sound delicious...I don't have the corn starch or I would be tempted to make them now!
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh, thank you!!! That sounds easy to do and looks so yummy!!! (Bet Ingo won´t like it, but I have cheese that needs to go! :-) On the hunt for that corn flower - or can you take coconut flower? I have that!!!)
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about this Iris, and I'm not so sure. You are probably best to just replace it with normal white flour.
DeleteI love to make cheese scones and ...to eat them!
