Easy Garlic And Cheese Scones Food

CHEESE SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 220C. Sift the flour and the baking powder into a bowl in order to allow air into the mixture. This is an important step.
• Rub in the butter until a breadcrumb like consistency is achieved. Cold, dry hands make this step easier.
• Grate the cheese. Stir most into the flour mixture but keep a little back for sprinkling on top of the scones.
• Crack the egg into a measuring jug and whisk lightly. Top the beaten egg up with milk until the mixture reaches the half-pint or 285ml mark. Whisk again to combine.
• Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour the majority of the egg mixture into the bowl, keeping back a little to brush the scones with before baking.
• Stir the mixture to combine and then knead very briefly, just enough to bring it together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
• Roll out the dough quite thickly (1 1/2 inches) and cut out circles with a scone cutter or a glass. Don't twist as you cut or the scones will rise unevenly. Alternatively, you can cut the dough into traditional wedges.
• Place the scones on a baking tray. Glaze the tops with the egg and milk mixture then sprinkle a little cheese over each one.
• Put straight into the very hot oven and bake for around 13 minutes or until well risen and browned. Afterwards, cool on a rack for five minutes before eating warm with butter.

EASY CHEESE AND GARLIC SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
• In a large bowl, sift together flour and salt. Rub in butter lightly with finger tips until mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Stir in cheese and garlic. 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.

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.

GARLIC AND CHEESE SCONES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F Combine flour, parsley, baking powder, basil and garlic salt in medium bowl; cut in butter with pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in 1 cup cheese. Stir in sour cream, milk and eggs just until moistened.
• Turn dough onto floured surface; knead until smooth (1 minute). Divide dough in half. For each half, roll out or pat out dough with floured hands into 8-inch circle. Cut each circle into 8 wedges.
• Place wedges 1 inch apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake for 10 minutes. Sprinkle wedges with remaining cheese. Continue baking for 4 to 8 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve with spreadable butter with Canola Oil.

CLASSIC CHEESE SCONES

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.
