Easy Cheese Scones In A Hurry Recipe For Hand

CHEESE SCONES

Steps:

• Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt together. Add grated cheese and dried oregano and mix.
• Cut in the margarine or butter till mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
• Add the milk and mix to make a smooth dough. (add more milk if necessary to ensure mix is not too dry) Knead very lightly for ten seconds on a lightly floured surface.
• Roll or pat to about 3/4" thick (2 cm) and cut into individual scones.
• Top each scone with a little additional cheese and bake for approximately 12 minutes. Brush the tops with melted butter after removing from the oven.

EASY CHEESE SCONES

Steps:

• Pre-heat your oven to 180°C.
• Mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, cayenne and cheddar, reserving just a little to sprinkle on the tops of the scones.
• In a separate bowl, beat the egg and add the milk and oil.
• Add the liquid mixture to the flour mixture and combine together with a spoon and then your hands. If the mixture won't hold together, add a splash more milk until it does.
• Use your hands to flatten the dough until it's about half a centimetre thick. Fold in half and flatten again to the same thickness.
• Use a cutter of your choice to press out the scones and arrange them on a baking tray. They don't spread much so you don't have to worry about leaving a large gap between each one. Sprinkle the reserved cheddar over the tops of the scones and place in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until golden.
• Bake until golden.

ENGLISH CHEESE SCONES

• Add the two types of grated cheese, the salt and the hot pepper flakes.
• make a well in the centre and add the beaten eggs with the splash of soda or mineral water and mix all ingredients together until a soft dough is formed. Add a little more water if necessary but take care not to make the dough too sticky.
• Place the dough on a clean floured surface and knead it very slightly until it is smooth.
• Roll out with a rolling pin until approximately 3/4 inch thick, then use a round cookie cutter to cut out rounds.
• Place the rounds on a baking sheet.
• Bake at 200 degrees celsius for around 15 to 20 minutes or until the scones are golden brown on top.

EASY SCONES

Steps:

• I never keep buttermilk on hand, so I add 1 tablespoon lemon juice to 2/3 cup 2% milk and let it sit while I prepare the rest of the recipe.
• Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl, Add the milk and stir a few strokes, add the extract to the melted butter and add that to the mix. Add in cranberries. Mix just enough to combine ingredients then let sit a few minutes.
• I put parchment paper on a cookies sheet and dust with flour. Push the dough out of the bowl onto the floured paper. Dust the top of the sticky dough and then pat down/shape into a round "pattie" about 1 inch thick. Grease pizza cutter and cut into triangular (pizza slice) pieces before baking. (You will have to cut them again after baking.).
• The original recipe called for 8 minutes at 400 degrees F. I like my scones a little browned, I always go about 5 minutes longer, but that's my oven.
• *You can vary the flavor of different batches of scones by using blueberries, sliced or toasted almonds or chocolate chips. I always use orange extract. It gives it a fresh, bright complementary flavor to go with the fruit, nuts, chips or whatever you decide to flavor your scones with.

CHEESE SCONES

Steps:

• Sieve flour, salt, pepper and mustard together into a mixing bowl.
• Cut the margarine into smaller blocks, and then rub in until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
• Beat the egg and mix with the milk in a small basin.
• Make a well in the centre of flour mixture, add the cheese (save a little to sprinkle over the scones) and pour in a bit of the egg and milk mixture at a time, mixing with a blunt knife, until you get a soft, but not sticky dough. If you find the mixture too dry, you can add some more milk.
• Lightly flour the work surface so the dough doesn't stick, and roll out the dough until it is about half an inch (1cm) thick.
• Use a scone cutter (you can lightly dust it with flour to stop it from sticking) of a size of your choice and cut out the scones from the dough. You can keep gathering up the off-cuts and re-rolling it out until you use it all.
• Place the scones on a greased baking tray, or on baking paper in the tray and brush the tops with milk and sprinkle on some cheese.
• Bake at gas mark 8, 500 Fahrenheit or 250 Celsius for about 10 minutes, or until the tops have turned a golden brown.

EASY CHEESE AND GARLIC SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.

Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk, reserving 1 teaspoon for a glazing the scones. Gently mix, just until combined.
• Turn out onto a lightly floured board and knead briefly and lightly. Be careful not to overwork the dough. Press out dough to form a 1 inch thick round. Cut into 8 wedges. Place on prepared tray and brush with reserved milk.
• Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 20 minutes, or until light brown. Serve hot or let cool on a wire rack.
