Cheddar Packed Cheese Scones - Perfect for Stew

Cheddar Packed Cheese Scones – Perfect for Stew

Well when I planned making these scones it was looking like a chilly September, however it seems here in the UK, the rules are being broken and records set. Anyway what’s wrong with a fresh out the oven fluffy cheese topped scone on a hot day?

Ingredients
  1. 340g Self Raising Flour ( + Dusting)
  2. 300g Strong Cheddar Cheese (grated +sprinkling)
  3. 90g Salted Butter (cubed)
  4. 2 tsp Baking Powder
  5. 1 tsp Mustard (optional)
  6. 180ml Milk (I used semi-skimmed +brushing)
  7. 1 Egg
Instructions
  1. Sieve the flour and baking powder into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add cubed butter lightly combine the dry mix until you get breadcrumbs.
  3. Add the grated cheddar along with your mustard and mix well.
  4. Gradually add the milk to the mixture, and mix to combine, after a while you will have a semi sticky dough.
  5. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently pat (not roller) to create a fat slab around 2cm thick.
  6. Fold your slab in half and flatten again, do this around 3 times in total so you end up with 6 layers,
  7. The last time pat out to around 2.5/3cm thick. Use a cookie cutter to press out as many scones as possible and place them onto a board/plate.
  8. Place the unbaked scones into your fridge for 30 minutes.
  9. 15 minutes into chilling, Turn your oven onto 220c and place a baking tray in to preheat.
  10. Beat your egg and milk for brushing.
  11. Once ready remove your tray from the oven and place your scones onto your hot tray.
  12. Brush with egg mixture and sprinkle tops with cheese.
  13. Bake at 220c for 15 Minutes or 18 if you prefer a more coloured scone.
Great Tip
  1. You could also cheat and just whiz the flour and butter in a food processor.
  2. If grating your own cheese again the food processor is your friend.

Cheese Scones topped with Lurpak Infusions Smoked Chipotle Whipped Butter

Fresh out the oven I topped mine with some Lurpak® Infusions Smoked Chipotle, they were totally delicious. I think they would be a amazing alternative to serve instead of dumplings on a winter stew.

Hey, Over here :)

Hi, I’m Daryl, A Keen Cook.

After having a love for cooking for many years, I decided to make this blog. It’s aimed to be family friendly with meals for busy mums, dads, grandparents, real food anyone can make, easily at home with basic equipment.

I use a range of cooking methods including: Stir-fry, Steaming, Oven, Hob, Slow Cooker, Indoor Grilling, Outdoor Grilling & Smoking. The only thing I tend not to do is deep fry as I air-fry, but never say never.

Often my recipes do not contain onions, due a onion allergy at home. But that’s not always, so please don’t be put off.

You’ll struggle to find perfect photo’s, they’re more real, and on the go, while I’m cooking, none of them are “setup” for this blog just quick snaps taken while cooking, mostly unedited.

Hopefully you’ll enjoy reading. And feel free to contact me at any time.

Big Love
Daryl
