Smoked Cheddar and Manchego Scones
Beautiful, easy scones that take no time at all to make, are buttery and are packed full of gorgeous cheese. Perfect served warm with salted butter.
Ingredients:
300g self raising flour
100ml milk
70g smoked cheddar chese
70g manchego
60g cold butter
1/2 tsp mustard powder
pinch of salt
Instructions:
If you have a mini chopper, then this recipe is perfect to make without getting your hands super sticky and also helps to keep your mixture firm! pop your flour, diced butter, mustard powder and salt into your chopper and blitz until you form breadcrumbs. Add in your cheese (if you’re doing it this way, there’s no need to grate) and blitz again.
If you don’t have a chopper, pop your flour, diced butter, mustard powder and salt into a bowl and use your fingers to rub your mix until breadcrumbs form. Then add your grated cheese.
Pour into a bowl and add in your milk little by little, keep stirring until a firm dough starts to form.
Pour your dough on to a floured surface and roll out until your dough is about 2 inches thick and put onto a baking tray and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up.
Once firm, cut into triangles (this recipe makes 8 decent sized triangles) and then brush with milk and sprinkle a bit of cheddar on top and put in a pre-heated oven at 200º and bake for 20 minutes.
Serve warm with butter and a sprinkling of more cheese.
