Indulge in some cheese scones for afternoon tea or as part of a picnic. They're also great served alongside soups and you can freeze them for later use

Provided by sarahheron

Categories     Afternoon tea, Side dish, Snack, Supper

Time 35m

Yield Makes 5-6

Number Of Ingredients 7

225g self-raising flour, plus extra for dusting
pinch of salt
pinch of cayenne pepper
1 tsp baking powder
55g chilled butter, cut into cubes
120g mature cheddar, grated
90-100ml milk, plus 1 tbsp for glazing

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 with a large baking tray inside. Sift the flour, salt, cayenne pepper and baking powder into a bowl, then sift again to make sure the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  • Add the butter to the bowl and combine with your fingertips to make breadcrumbs. Sprinkle 100g of the cheese into the breadcrumb mixture and rub together until evenly distributed. Try not to mix too much as the heat from your hands may start to melt the butter.
  • Make a well in the centre of the mixture and pour in enough milk to give a fairly soft but firm dough. Do not pour in all the milk at once as you may not need it all to get the right consistency.
  • Lightly flour a surface and roll out the dough to approximately 2cm thick. Cut out the scones with a medium (about 8cm) cutter, then put on a sheet of baking parchment, glaze with a little milk and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Slide onto the hot oven tray.
  • Bake in the oven for 15-20 mins or until golden brown and cooked through.

Tips:

  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the scones tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the scones to rise more evenly. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Bake the scones at a high temperature: Baking the scones at a high temperature will help them to rise quickly and develop a golden brown crust.
  • Serve the scones warm: Scones are best served warm. You can reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving.

Conclusion:

Cheese and spinach scones are a delicious and versatile snack or breakfast food. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Try adding different herbs, spices, or cheeses to create your own unique flavor combinations.
