Cheese Scones recipe
Easy and delicious recipe for cheese scones: yummy snack that everyone will love!
Makes about 40 scones, depending on the size of cutter used.
Ingredients:
- 500g flour,
- 1 teaspoon salt,
(optional: large pinch of cayenne pepper),
- 150g finely grated cheese (+ some more for topping the scones)
- 250g butter,
- 2 full tablespoons of sour cream,
- 2 egg yolks,
- 100ml milk,
- 1 teaspoon sugar,
- 25g fresh yeast.
Note: Let all cold ingredients (milk, sour cream, fresh yeast, butter, eggs) warm up at room temperature for 2 hours before starting.
Instructions:
1. Mix 100ml lukewarm milk, 1 teaspoon sugar and sprinkle in 25g fresh yeast. Stirr and leave for 10-20 minutes until frothy.
2. In a large bowl, mix 500g flour and 1 teaspoon salt, then rub the butter into it until it resembles homogene breadcrumbs.
3. Mix in 150g finely grated cheese.
4. Make a well in the centre of the mixture and add all remaining ingredients: 2 full tablespoons of sour cream, the risen/frothy milk-sugar-yeast mixture and 2 egg yolks.
5. Gradually mix it together and knead gently.
Note: Depending on the flour type/quality the dough might be too dry/hard. Just add some more sour cream if needed.
6. The result should be a soft dough. Roll it into a ball when the dough becomes homogeneous and smoothish, cover and let it rest for 20 minutes in a warm place.
7. Lightly flour a surface and gently roll out the dough then fold it 4 times.
8. Again: cover and let it rest for 20 minutes in a warm place.
9. Lightly flour a surface and gently roll out the dough then fold it 4 times again.
10. And once more: cover and let it rest for 20 minutes in a warm place.
11. Lightly flour a surface and gently roll out the dough to approximately 1.5 cm thickness: about “one finger thick”.
12. Cut out the scones with a medium cutter (we use a handy plastic cup) and then place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Note: Dip the cutter into flour if the dough sticks to it.
Note: Instead of parchment paper you can lightly grease the baking tray or just put the scones on a floured tray surface.
Pat together the trimmings, re-roll the dough and stamp those out, too.
13. Glaze the top of the scones with egg-sour cream mixture and sprinkle cheese on the top of each scone.
14. Preheat the oven to 180-200 degree Celsius.
15. Let them rest/rise for another 20 minutes in a warm place, covered with a tea towel, until slightly puffed up.
16. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes until golden brown on top and cooked through.
17. Remove the scones from the oven and leave to cool a little on a wire rack then eat as soon as possible.
Enjoy!
