Classic Cheddar Sour Cream Scones Recipes

Steps:

• In a food processor, or by hand, crush ½ a box of Triscuits. Set aside.
• Combine all of the filling ingredients in a large bowl.
• Pinch off bite sized balls of filling and roll between your hands (about 1 oz or 28g each).
• Roll the balls in the crushed Triscuit mixture, then coat it in beaten egg, then again in Triscuit mixture.
• Heat a sauce pan of vegetable oil to 350˚F (180˚C). Line a tray with paper towel to drain the fried bites.
• Fry each bite until Triscuit coating turns a light brown, about 45 seconds.
• NOTE: If they're fried too long, the cheese filling will escape and you'll be left with a sad shell of a former cheese bite.
• Garnish with more chopped dill and a squeeze of lemon. Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450ºF.
• Mix first 4 ingredients in large bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cheddar.
• Make well in center of flour mixture. Mix sour cream and milk. Add to flour mixture; stir with fork just until moistened.
• Spoon onto parchment-covered baking sheet; pat to 10-inch circle. Cut into 10 wedges. Gently separate wedges; brush with egg. Sprinkle with combined Parmesan and chives.
• Bake 10 to 12 min. or until golden brown. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Put the flour, salt, baking powder and 2 tablespoons of the sugar in a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles cornmeal.
• Add the egg and just enough cream to form a slightly sticky dough. If it's too sticky, add a little flour, but very little; it should still stick a little to your hands.
• Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead once or twice, then press it into a 3/4-inch-thick circle and cut into 2-inch rounds with a biscuit cutter or glass. Put the rounds on an ungreased baking sheet. Gently reshape the leftover dough and cut again. Brush the top of each scone with a bit of cream and sprinkle with a little of the remaining sugar.
• Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the scones are a beautiful golden brown. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Tip the self-raising flour into a large bowl with ¼ tsp salt and the baking powder, then mix.
• Add the butter, then rub in with your fingers until the mix looks like fine crumbs. Stir in the caster sugar.
• Put the milk into a jug and heat in the microwave for about 30 secs until warm, but not hot. Add the vanilla extract and a squeeze of lemon juice, then set aside for a moment.
• Put a baking tray in the oven. Make a well in the dry mix, then add the liquid and combine it quickly with a cutlery knife - it will seem pretty wet at first.
• Scatter some flour onto the work surface and tip the dough out. Dredge the dough and your hands with a little more flour, then fold the dough over 2-3 times until it's a little smoother. Pat into a round about 4cm deep. Take a 5cm cutter (smooth-edged cutters tend to cut more cleanly, giving a better rise) and dip it into some flour. Plunge into the dough, then repeat until you have four scones. You may need to press what's left of the dough back into a round to cut out another four.
• Brush the tops with a beaten egg, then carefully arrange on the hot baking tray. Bake for 10 mins until risen and golden on the top. Eat just warm or cold on the day of baking, generously topped with jam and clotted cream. If freezing, freeze once cool. Defrost, then put in a low oven (about 160C/140C fan/gas 3) for a few minutes to refresh.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 with a large baking tray inside. Sift the flour, salt, cayenne pepper and baking powder into a bowl, then sift again to make sure the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
• Add the butter to the bowl and combine with your fingertips to make breadcrumbs. Sprinkle 100g of the cheese into the breadcrumb mixture and rub together until evenly distributed. Try not to mix too much as the heat from your hands may start to melt the butter.
• Make a well in the centre of the mixture and pour in enough milk to give a fairly soft but firm dough. Do not pour in all the milk at once as you may not need it all to get the right consistency.
• Lightly flour a surface and roll out the dough to approximately 2cm thick. Cut out the scones with a medium (about 8cm) cutter, then put on a sheet of baking parchment, glaze with a little milk and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Slide onto the hot oven tray.
• Bake in the oven for 15-20 mins or until golden brown and cooked through.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees with a rack in the upper third. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Using the large holes of a box grater, grate butter directly into the dry ingredients, stopping a few times along the way to toss the butter pieces into the flour. Use your fingers to work the butter into slightly smaller pieces. Add cherries and toss to combine.
• In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream and milk. Add to the flour mixture, and use a fork to stir until all the dry flour bits are incorporated, but the dough is still shaggy. Smoosh and knead the dough a few times until it barely holds together, then dump the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface.
• Pat dough to a 1-inch-thick rectangle. Cut into 8 squares, transfer to the prepared sheet, and brush the tops with beaten egg.
• Bake until golden brown, 18 to 22 minutes. Let cool slightly. Scones will keep, covered at room temperature, for 3 days. Reheat, if you like, in a toaster oven or at 350 degrees until warmed through.

Steps:

• Combine the first 5 ingredients and then fold in the shredded cheese.
• In a small bowl, combine the eggs, sour cream, oil and milk.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir just until moistened.
• On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough 10 to 12 times and then pat it out to a 3/4 inch thickness.
• Cut dough with a 3" round cutter, or simply cut into 3" squares.
• Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450ºF.
• Mix first 5 ingredients in large bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cheddar.
• Make well in center of flour mixture. Mix sour cream and milk. Add to flour mixture; stir with fork just until moistened.
• Spoon onto parchment-covered baking sheet; pat to 10-inch circle. Cut into 10 wedges. Gently separate wedges; brush with egg. Sprinkle with combined Parmesan and chives.
• Bake 10 to 12 min. or until golden brown. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl. Fold in Cheddar cheese.
• Whisk sour cream, oil, milk, and eggs together in a small bowl. Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients; stir just until moistened.
• Knead dough on a lightly floured surface 10 to 12 times. Pat out to a thickness of 3/4 inch. Cut into 3-inch squares or cut circles with a 3-inch cutter. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until light golden brown, about 15 minutes.
