Cheddar Scones
"At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet." - Plato
-----
I took a few weeks off from baking after going overboard during December, and I tell you, the break felt good.
But today as I was looking through the kitchen for a snack, I realized snackage was seriously depleted.
Since I didn't feel like going to the grocery store, I started looking for ingredients, and had just the right amount of stuff to make cheddar scones!
Done, and now I have snacks for the week! Delaying groceries for a while longer! Win-win!
Recipe for those interested:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup cold butter, cut into cubes
- 1 cup grated old cheddar
- 1 cup cold milk
Directions:
01. Place rack above centre of oven. Preheat oven to 450F (230C). Line a baking sheet with parchement paper.
02. Using a fork, stir flour with baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Work in cold butter until mixture is crumbly. Stir in cheese.
03. Make a well in centre. Pour in milk and stir just until moistened.
04. Turn out onto a floured cutting board. Divide in half and pat each portion into a 6 inch circle about 3/4 inch thick.
05. Cut each into 8 wedges.
06. Lift wedges onto baking sheet, placing about 1 inch apart for crusty-sided scones or 1/2 inch apart for soft-sided scones.
07. Bake above oven centre until golden, from 10 to 12 minutes.
Enjoy!
Hope everyone has had a good idea.
