Cheddar Scones With Dill Food

CHEDDAR DILL SCONES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Grease 2 baking sheets; set aside.
• Combine all ingredients except butter, half & half and eggs in bowl; cut in butter with pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in half & half and eggs just until moistened.
• Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; knead 1 minute or until smooth.
• Divide dough in half; roll each half into 8-inch circle. Cut each circle into 8 wedges.
• Place wedges 1 inch apart onto prepared baking sheets. Bake 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned.

CHEDDAR SCONES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220c/fan 200c/gas 7. Place the flour in a large bowl, then rub in the butter. Stir in the oats and cheese, then the milk - if it feels like it might be dry, add a touch more milk, then bring together to make a soft dough.
• Lightly dust the surface with a little flour. roll out the dough no thinner than 2cm. Using a 4cm plain cutter, firmly stamp out the rounds - try not to twist the cutter as this makes the scones rise unevenly. re-roll the trimmings and stamp out more.
• Transfer to a non-stick baking sheet, dust with a little more flour or grated cheese, then bake for 12-15 mins until well risen and golden. Cool on a wire rack before serving on their own or topped with mashed avocado, or soft cheese, and ham, cucumber or cress.

BAREFOOT CONTESSA'S CHEDDAR AND DILL SCONES

Steps:

• Mix cheese and dill together lightly in bowl and set aside.
• Mix flour, baking powder and salt together. Cut in butter with pastry blender, fork or fingertips until mixture is uniformly crumbly, like corn meal. This step may also be done in food processor and mixture transferred to large bowl.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Add eggs, all but tablespoon of cream, dill and cheese and mix very lightly but thoroughly to make soft dough. Do not overmix.
• Transfer dough to well-floured board or work surface, pat it into even square, then roll it lightly to make 12-inch square about inch thick. Mix egg yolk with remaining tablespoon of cream and brush on dough. Cut dough into 4-inch squares and cut each square on diagonal in four, to make triangles. Place triangles about 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets and bake about 20 minutes, until golden. Cool 15 minutes.

HERB-CHEDDAR SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Toss butter in flour mixture to evenly coat, then press between your fingers until mixture has the texture of coarse meal, with a few pea-size pieces remaining. In another bowl, whisk together cream and eggs.
• Make a well in flour mixture; add egg mixture, cheddar, scallions, and dill. Stir together with a fork until dough begins to form but mixture is still crumbly. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface; knead just to combine (do not overwork). Pat out 1/2 inch thick. With a floured 2 3/4-inch biscuit cutter, cut out rounds, as closely together as possible; place on prepared sheet. Gather scraps; pat out again and repeat.
• Brush tops with cream; sprinkle with more dill and scallions. Bake, rotating sheet halfway through, until golden brown, 23 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely.

BAREFOOT CONTESSA CHEDDAR DILL SCONES - INA GARTEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine 4 cups of flour, the baking powder, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Add the butter and mix on low speed until the butter is in pea-sized pieces. Mix the eggs and heavy cream and quickly add them to the flour-and-butter mixture. Combine until just blended. Toss together the Cheddar, dill, and 1 tablespoon of flour and add them to the dough. Mix until they are almost incorporated.
• Dump the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead it for 1 minute, until the Cheddar and dill are well distributed. Roll the dough 3/4-inch thick. Cut into 4-inch squares and then in half diagonally to make triangles. Brush the tops with egg wash. Bake on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for 20 to 25 minutes, until the outside is crusty and the inside is fully baked.

CHEDDAR DILL SCONES

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, fresh chopped chives, and dill. Gently whisk until all the ingredients are combined.
• Using a box grater, grate the cheese. Add the grated cheese to the flour mixture and gently toss until the cheese is coated in flour.
• With the same box grater, grate the butter. I recommend pulling the butter from the freezer immediately before grating so it holds together. (Don't worry if it starts to melt in your hand.) Add the grated butter to the mixing bowl with the cheese and gently stir to combine.
• Add the buttermilk to the bowl and stir using a large spoon about 8-10 times until incorporated. Then, use your hands to bring the dough together into a disk. Don't worry if it's crumbly-it's supposed to be! Scone dough should stay shaggy and not be completely smooth, which gives it that wonderful sconey-texutre.
• Preheat your oven to 375°F if you plan on baking right away. Then, form an 8- inch to 9-inch disk of dough on a cutting board or right on the counter. Cut the dough into 8 wedges (just like you would a pizza). Separate the pieces and place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
• Place the scones in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to make sure the butter is as cool as possible before it goes in the oven. You can leave your scones uncovered in the freezer for up to 1 hour. If you'd like to freeze them for longer (up to 2 weeks), cover each raw scone tightly with plastic wrap and cook whenever you're ready.
• Bake the scones for 20 minutes or until they are light golden brown on top. Let them cool for at least 5 minutes before serving them. Enjoy!

CHEDDAR SCONES WITH DILL

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F.
• Combine the flour, cheese, parsley, dill, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl.
• Use a pastry blender to cut in the cold butter or margarine until crumbly.
• Add eggs and half-n-half and stir lightly until just moistened.
• Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface.
• Knead dough gently until smooth, about 1 minute.
• Divide the dough in half and roll each half into an 8-inch circle.
• Cut each circle into 8 wedges, as if cutting a pie.
• Place the wedges 1 inch apart on a cookie sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly browned.
• Cool on a rack for 2 minutes before serving.

CHEDDAR CHEESE SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl. Fold in Cheddar cheese.
• Whisk sour cream, oil, milk, and eggs together in a small bowl. Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients; stir just until moistened.
• Knead dough on a lightly floured surface 10 to 12 times. Pat out to a thickness of 3/4 inch. Cut into 3-inch squares or cut circles with a 3-inch cutter. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until light golden brown, about 15 minutes.
