Best Herb And Cheese Scones Recipes
HERB AND CHEESE SCONES
Steps:
- Make the White Soda Bread with Herbs dough. Stamp into scones, brush with egg wash and dip into grated cheddar cheese. Bake for 20 minutes in a 450 degree oven.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- In a mixing bowl sift together 1 pound flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. Make a well in the center. Pour most of the milk into the well. Using one hand, mix in the flour from sides of the bowl, adding more milk if necessary. The dough should be softish, not too wet and sticky. When it all comes together, turn the dough onto a well-floured counter. Wash and dry hands. Knead lightly for 1 second, just to tidy it up, flip over. Pat dough into a round about 11/2 inches deep and cut a cross into dough over the sides of the bread to let the fairies out. Bake in preheated 450 degree oven for 15 minutes, then turn down the oven to 400 degrees for another 30 minutes or until cooked. If in doubt, tap the bottom of the bread, it should sound hollow.
- Add fresh herbs to dry ingredients of white soda bread dough and proceed making dough as above. Shape into loaf or scones and bake as for soda bread. If making scones bake for 20 minutes in a 450 degree oven.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 230 C / 210 C Fan / Gas 8. Line a baking tray with parchment.
- Put the flour, baking powder, salt, dried herbs, mustard and cheese into a mixing bowl and mix until well combined. Add the butter and and rub through with your fingers until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
- Make a well in the middle of the flour mixture and pour in a little at a time the water and milk and stir until the mixture forms a ball and until you have ran out of milk and water. (If the mixture looks dry add a tiny bit of water but not so that it looks wet.)
- Knead for about 2 minutes on a floured surface. Roll the dough out on a floured surface and cut into twelve 7.5cm (3 in) rounds and put on your baking tray. Try to cut the scones as close together as you can so you can fit more scones out of the mixture. Re-roll the dough and cut more scones until you have no dough left.
- Bake in the oven for about 17 minutes. Keep an eye on your scones to make sure that they do not burn!
