or even a breakfast option. The step-by-step visual guide in the image makes the process
straightforward and easy to follow. Here’s a detailed recipe to recreate this scrumptious dish:
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup grated cheese (cheddar or your preferred type)
1/2 cup fresh herbs (such as parsley, chives, or a mix)
1/4 cup melted butter
3/4 cup milk
1 large egg
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add Cheese and Herbs: Grate the cheese and finely chop the fresh herbs. Add them to the dry
ingredients and mix well.
Step 2: Combine Wet Ingredients
Melt Butter: Melt the butter and allow it to cool slightly.
Mix Milk and Egg: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Gradually add the melted butter while whisking to combine.
Step 3: Make the Dough
Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently until it comes together.
Step 4: Shape and Cut the Dough
Shape into a Disk: Shape the dough into a round disk about 1 inch thick.
Cut into Wedges: Using a knife or dough cutter, cut the disk into 8 equal wedges.
Step 5: Cook the Scones
Preheat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
Cook the Scones: Place the wedges in the skillet, leaving a little space between each piece. Cook until
the bottom is golden brown, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown and cooked
through. This should take about 5-7 minutes per side.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Cool Slightly: Remove the scones from the skillet and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
Serve Warm: Serve the scones warm, optionally with a dollop of butter or a side of sour cream.
Tips for Perfect Scones
Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the dough can make the scones tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Fresh Herbs: Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. You can mix and match herbs according to your preference.
Cheese Variety: Experiment with different types of cheese to find your favorite combination.
These cheese and herb scones are perfect for any occasion and can be a great addition to your recipe repertoire. Enjoy baking and savoring these delicious treats!
