- Ready In:
- 32mins
- Ingredients:
- 9
- Serves:
-
4-6
ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1⁄2 cup butter, cut into little cubes (a little less is fine too)
- 2 1⁄4 teaspoons baking soda
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 cup grated mozzarella cheese (other type is fine too)
- 100 ml milk
-
optional
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 1 pinch parsley flakes
directions
- 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.

These are worth trying. I had mozzarella to use. I was surprised at the sugar but added anyway. They lasted less than 10 minutes out of the oven, surprisingly good. Trying today again without sugar. They are very light and fluffy. I did slightly reduce the baking powder but not by much -
This has way too much baking soda! That's all I can taste! I'm upset because I wasted all those ingredients :(
