Mini Mozzarella Cheese Scones Recipes

MINI MOZZARELLA CHEESE SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°C or around 400°F.
• Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit a baking tray.
• Sift flour, salt, cayenne pepper and baking powder into a mixing bowl.
• Rub butter with finger tips into the flour mixture until it becomes like fine bread crumbs.
• Mix grated cheese, paisley flakes and sugar into the flour mixture, mixture should have consistency which resemble "bread crumbs".
• Make a well into the mixture and add milk, leaving a little bit to brush on the scones if you wish.
• Combine with a spatula or wooden spoon so that it becomes a dough, knead quickly and gently on a lightly floured board, pat dough out into approximately 2.5cm thick and cut with a 4-5cm round cutter, into as many rounds as you can. I usually roll the last bits into balls, brush the top with a little milk and place on parchment paper on the tray and bake for about 10-12 minutes until tops are lightly browned.
• Remove from oven and place on cooling rack so as not to burn the bottom.

CLASSIC CHEESE SCONES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 with a large baking tray inside. Sift the flour, salt, cayenne pepper and baking powder into a bowl, then sift again to make sure the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
• Add the butter to the bowl and combine with your fingertips to make breadcrumbs. Sprinkle 100g of the cheese into the breadcrumb mixture and rub together until evenly distributed. Try not to mix too much as the heat from your hands may start to melt the butter.
• Make a well in the centre of the mixture and pour in enough milk to give a fairly soft but firm dough. Do not pour in all the milk at once as you may not need it all to get the right consistency.
• Lightly flour a surface and roll out the dough to approximately 2cm thick. Cut out the scones with a medium (about 8cm) cutter, then put on a sheet of baking parchment, glaze with a little milk and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Slide onto the hot oven tray.
• Bake in the oven for 15-20 mins or until golden brown and cooked through.
