Cheesy Scones Recipe | Easy & Delicious Savory Snack

Cheesy Scones

Freshly baked and full of flavour, our cheesy scones are perfect for little hands and hungry tummies! Light, golden, and delicious — served warm as a comforting snack or alongside soup for a cosy lunch.

Ingredients

250g (2 cups) self raising flour*
60g (1/4 cup) butter
125g (1 cup) cheddar cheese
1/2 tsp mustard powder
1 egg
160ml (2/3 cup) milk (approx)
* If you don’t have self-raising flour, use 2 cups of all-purpose or plain flour plus 2 tsp of baking powder.

Method

Pre heat the oven to 200C/190C Fan
Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper
Measure the flour into a bowl. Add a pinch of salt. Weigh the butter, then cut it into small pieces before adding to the flour. Rub it together with your hands until it is well mixed and looks like fine breadcrumbs
Grate your cheese and add to the flour along with the mustard powder, and again using your hands, mix it all in.
Crack the egg into a measuring jug. Add milk to your jug up to 160ml. Make a well in the middle of your flour mixture, then slowly add the milk until you have a soft but firm dough. Don’t add it all at once, as you might not need it all to get it to the right consistency. Bring the dough together so it is nice and soft but not too sticky.
Lightly sprinkle flour on to your work surface. Roll out or pat down the dough until it is about 2cm thick. Using a cutter (or a glass if you don’t have any) cut out your scones and pop them on the baking tray.
Brush the tops with a little milk and sprinkle with some finely grated cheese, then bake them in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
They’re best served warm with butter or more cheese!
