Description
This is my favorite, very simple, recipe for savory scones. They are wonderful served hot, spread with a little butter, and eaten alongside a steamy hot soup. It’s important not to over handle these scones, as they will be heavy and tough.
Ingredients
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 pinch salt
- ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
- In a large bowl
- sift together flour and salt. Rub in butter lightly with finger tips until mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Stir in cheese and garlic. Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk
- reserving 1 teaspoon for a glazing the scones. Gently mix
- just until combined.
- Turn out onto a lightly floured board and knead briefly and lightly. Be careful not to overwork the dough. Press out dough to form a 1 inch thick round. Cut into 8 wedges. Place on prepared tray and brush with reserved milk.
- Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 20 minutes
- or until light brown. Serve hot or let cool on a wire rack.
