How to Make Cheddar Cheese Scones

Scones are a pastry that is ever popular. Many have not heard of cheddar cheese scones, but some of you have. There might be a few of you out there who are wondering how to make these. Here, we will help you to learn how to do this.

Let’s first look at the things that you are going to need in order to effectively make these. When you go to the grocery, here are the things that you are going to need to buy so that you can be sure that you have all there is to get the job done.

First of all, you are going to need two three fourths cups of self rising flour. You’ll need one tablespoon of sugar. One will need two teaspoons of baking powder. Three fourths of a cup of fresh chives are needed as well. One packed cup of shredded extra sharp Cheddar cheese is needed. You need one three fourths cup of chilled whole milk. You also need two large eggs. You need one tablespoon of vegetable oil. The last thing that you are going to need is two tablespoons of Dijon mustard.

Before you begin, you want to preheat your oven to four hundred and twenty five degrees Fahrenheit. Take a baking sheet and sprinkle this with the flour. Next, you need to take the self rising flour, sugar, and baking powder and whisk these together. When you do this, you need to stir in the chives and cheese.

Next, whisk the milk, one egg, oil, and the mustard in a different bowl. When this is done, you are going to gradually add this to your dry ingredients. Toss this until you have moist clumps and add more milk with a tablespoon.

Once you have done this, you need to put the dough a surface that is sprinkled with flour. Knead the dough until it comes together. Then, you will need to pat the dough so that it’s one inch thick and round. You will need to take a two and a half inch cutter and cut your scones. With the scraps, you will repeat this process. Then, you go about and whisk the other egg, and brush this over the dough that needs to be transferred to the sheet. If you have sesame seeds, this should be sprinkled over this.

The next thing is to bake the scones on the top rack until they are golden brown. The center should come out clean as well. This usually takes about fourteen minutes. Before you serve, you need to cool the scones for five minutes. You should probably also transfer them to a basket to keep them warm as well. These are a favorite of many.

You need to make sure that you don’t bake these too much. The scones can burn and they can get quite hard as well. So, be sure to keep an eye on them. Remember that the sesame seeds are optional as well and not everyone likes sesame seeds.
