Light and Fluffy Cheese Scones without Buttermilk
How to make light and fluffy cheese scones
Yield: 8 scones
Materials
- 2 1/4 cups flour all-purpose
- 2 tbsp sugar granulated
- 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup butter cold
- 1 cup cheddar cheese grated
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix together.
- Place cold butter in the center of the bowl. Use a pastry blender to cut the butter into coarse crumbs (small pea sized clumps of butter).
- Add cheese to the flour mixture and mix until evenly distributed.
- Add milk and egg to the flour mixture.
- Gently mix until the dough is just combined. Scone batter should be very wet.
- Spoon onto a baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat. You should be able to make 8 large scones from the dough.
- Bake at 425 degrees F for 15-18 minutes until the tops are golden brown.
