Cheese Scones

Ingredients

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 220°C. Grease or flour a baking tray.
  2. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Add cheese, cayenne pepper and mustard powder to the mixture. Rub in the butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. 
  3. Add the milk and quickly mix with a round-bladed table knife to a soft dough. For light and tender scones the mixture should be quite soft and a little sticky. Scrape the dough onto the floured baking tray and flour the top. 
  4. Working quickly, pat the dough out to 2cm thickness. With a floured knife, cut it into 12 even-sized pieces, then separate the scones to allow 2cm space between them. Brush the tops with milk. 
  5. Before baking, top each scone with a little more grated cheese. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Place on a wire rack to cool, wrapped in a clean tea towel to keep them soft.

I did these in my ninja airfryer 200 degrees for about fourteen minutes I'm so impressed with how they turned out crunchy on the outside fluffy on the inside. I doubled the cheese with parmesan sprinkled on the top.

Skipped the mustard powder and cayene pepper and still delicious!! Easy and quick recipe!!

I have been making these cheese scones for over 60 years. Always a hit. The only difference is that I use half milk and half soda water, makes a really light scone.
