CHEDDAR-DILL SCONES

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 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.

BLUEBERRY CREAM CHEESE SCONES WITH YOGURT GLAZE

Steps:

• For the scones: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
• Add the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt and lemon zest to a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until it's mostly pea-sized; a few larger chunks are okay. Dump the mixture into a large bowl and gently toss in the blueberries.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, vanilla and almond extract. Pour into the dry ingredients and, using a rubber spatula, mix until about 80 percent of the dry mixture is incorporated. Dollop teaspoon-sized plops of cream cheese all over the mixture, then gently fold the mixture just until the remaining dry ingredients are incorporated. (You want the cream cheese to generally stay intact but it will of course swirl a little.) Using an ice cream scoop or large spoon, divide the dough into 8 balls and place them on the lined baking sheets about 2 inches apart (they will spread quite a bit). Bake until the tops are lightly browned and the bottoms are golden, 16 to 20 minutes.
• For the glaze: Meanwhile, whisk together the powdered sugar, yogurt and salt in a bowl.
• Let the scones cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool for 5 more minutes. While they're still a little warm, brush with the glaze, then sprinkle with the sanding sugar, if using. These are best enjoyed the day of.

YOGURT CHEDDAR SCONES

Steps:

• In large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cheese. Add yogurt all at once; stir with fork to make soft, slightly sticky dough, if the dough is too sticky, add more flour, and once one or two tablespoons. On lightly floured surface, knead dough gently 6 times or until smooth. Gently pat out dough to 1-inch thick round. Using 2-inch round cutter, cut out rounds. Gather up scraps and pat out dough once morel; cut into rounds. Bake on ungreased baking sheet at 425F 220C for 12 to 15 minutes or until puffed and golden. Transfer to racks and let cool.

CHEDDAR AND PEPPER SCONES

Steps:

• Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt into a large bowl. Cut in the butter and cheese. Stir in the pepper.
• Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F and set a rack on the upper-middle level. Grease a heavy baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
• Gently stir enough buttermilk or yogurt into the flour mixture to make a soft, sticky dough. Gather the dough into a ball with your hands. On a well-floured surface, roll or pat the dough into an 12-x-8-inch rectangle approximately 3/4 inch thick. Try not to handle the dough too much, and don't worry if it looks rough.
• Using a large spatula or a couple of spatulas, transfer the dough to the baking sheet. Use a dough scraper or knife to cut the dough into 40 squares, each 1 1/2 inches. Separate the squares slightly on the baking sheet. Brush each square with a little milk. (Or cut circles out of the dough with the rim of a glass or a biscuit cutter and transfer them to the baking sheet.)
• Bake the scones for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are brown on the bottom and very lightly brown on top. Don't overbake; break one open to test for doneness. Transfer to cooling racks to cool briefly and then serve as soon as possible.
• To serve: The scones are still good when cool, but they are best when just out of the oven. Butter and scrambled eggs are appropriate accompaniments.

JALAPENO-CHEDDAR SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk egg and water together for egg wash.
• Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or fork until pea-sized lumps remain. Add Cheddar cheese and jalapeno peppers; toss in the flour mixture to prevent the cheese from clumping. Add 1 cup buttermilk and mix until a sticky dough forms. Only add additional buttermilk if absolutely necessary.
• Form dough into a ball and turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide in half and form each piece into a 3/4-inch thick circle. The circles should measure about 8 inches in diameter, but the thickness is more important that the diameter. Cut each circle into 8 wedges. Transfer wedges to the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least 1/2 inch between each one. Paint the top of each wedge with egg wash.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 22 to 23 minutes. Serve warm.

Pat into an 8-in. circle. Cut into eight wedges, but do not separate. Sprinkle with remaining sugar. Bake at 400° for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
