Sharp cheddar scones

Baking30 min · easymakes 8

Flaky, savoury and best warm from the oven. The everyday scone, with a little more to it.

Ingredients

makes 8
  • 300 g Blend protein flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 75 g cold butter, cubed
  • 120 g sharp cheddar, grated
  • 160 ml milk, plus more to glaze
Bakes 1 : 1Made with Blend in place of the flour you’d normally use — gram for gram, no recipe changes.

Method

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 210°C. Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt.

  2. 2

    Rub in the cold butter until the mix looks like coarse crumbs, then stir through most of the cheese.

  3. 3

    Add the milk and bring together into a soft dough — handle it as little as possible.

  4. 4

    Pat to 3 cm thick and cut into 8 rounds. Glaze with milk and top with the last of the cheese.

  5. 5

    Bake 15–18 minutes until risen and golden. Cool slightly before splitting.

Baker’s tipKeep everything cold and your hands quick — that’s what makes them flaky.
