Cranks Cheese Scones Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 deg C / 400 deg F / gas 6.
• Put the flour, baking powder, salt and cayenne pepper in a bowl.
• Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.
• Stir in most of the cheese and sufficient milk to obtain a soft, easy-to-handle dough.
• Knead gently, then roll out on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 2.5 cm / 1 in. Stamp out 7.5 cm / 3 in rounds with a fluted cutter and place on a lightly greased baking tray.
• Brush with milk and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes until golden.
• Cool on a wire tray and eat as soon as possible.

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:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
• In a large bowl, sift together flour and salt. Rub in butter lightly with finger tips until mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Stir in cheese and garlic. Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk, reserving 1 teaspoon for a glazing the scones. Gently mix, just until combined.
• Turn out onto a lightly floured board and knead briefly and lightly. Be careful not to overwork the dough. Press out dough to form a 1 inch thick round. Cut into 8 wedges. Place on prepared tray and brush with reserved milk.
• Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 20 minutes, or until light brown. Serve hot or let cool on a wire rack.
