Honey Cheddar Chutney Scones Recipes

CHEDDAR SCONES WITH HAM AND HONEY-MUSTARD BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. and butter a large baking sheet.
• Make scones:
• Into a large bowl sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut butter into small bits and with your fingertips or a pastry blender blend into flour mixture until mixture resembles coarse meal. With a fork stir in Cheddar. Add milk and cream, stirring until just combined. Transfer mixture to a floured surface and with floured hands knead until it forms a dough. Roll out dough into a 12-inch round (about 1/2 inch thick). Using a 2-inch fluted round cutter cut out scones and arrange about 1/2 inch apart on baking sheet. Gather and gently reroll scraps. Cut out more scones and arrange on baking sheet.
• Bake scones in middle of oven until pale golden, about 12 minutes, and transfer to a rack to cool. Scones may be made 1 day ahead and kept in an airtight container at cool room temperature.
• In a small bowl stir together butter, mustard and honey. Tear each lettuce leaf into 4 pieces. Split scones and spread each split side with honey-mustard butter. Make sandwiches with scones, lettuce, and folded slices of ham.

CHEDDAR AND CHIVE SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Sift flour, baking powder, chives, salt, and cayenne pepper together in a large bowl. Cut in butter using a pastry blender or rubbing between your fingers until flour mixture resembles pea-sized lumps. Stir in 1 cup cheese. Whisk 1/2 cup milk and sour cream together in a measuring cup. Pour all at once into flour mixture, and stir gently until well blended. Avoid overworking the dough.
• Pat dough into 2- to 3-inch balls, depending on what size you want, using floured hands. Place on the prepared baking sheet and flatten slightly, letting scones barely touch each other. Brush tops with remaining milk. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Let dough rest for about 10 minutes.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tops are golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool slightly; break scones apart before serving.

HONEY AND CHERRY CHUTNEY

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, bring the first seven ingredients to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes or until slightly thickened. Stir in walnuts., Combine cornstarch and water until smooth. Stir into the pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.

CHEESE & CHUTNEY SCONES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Dust a large baking sheet with a little flour. Tip the flour into a big bowl and mix in the bicarb and 1 tsp salt.
• Add the butter and rub into the flour with your fingertips to breadcrumbs, or whizz in a food processor until no butter lumps remain. Stir in all but a small handful of the cheese.
• Drizzle over the buttermilk and, using a cutlery knife, quickly mix together lightly. Tip onto a lightly floured surface and gently bring together with your hands into an oval about 2.5cm deep. Cut into 6 scones with a floured knife, then lift onto the baking sheet, leaving room for them to spread. Using the back of your tsp measure, press a small dip into the middle of each scone. Spoon the chutney into the dips, scatter over the remaining cheese, and bake for 10-15 mins until risen and golden. Best eaten on the day of baking with butter, plus a dollop more chutney, if you fancy it.
