hi today I'd like to show you a really

simple cheese scone recipe and along the

way I'm going to show you some tips and

tricks on how to get the perfect scone

so let's make a start

so tip number one is to make sure you

work really quickly so have all your

ingredients ready to go

the other thing is preheat your oven to

220 degrees and pop your oven tray into

heat having a hot tray helps with the

rising

right so first of all we're going to

sift our dry ingredients so the dry

ingredients are two cups of plain flour

three teaspoons of baking powder

half a teaspoon of salt

and one teaspoon of sugar

now the purpose of the sugar helps bring

out the flavor of the cheese if you're

wondering why it's in there but if you

don't want to add sugar you don't need

to

okay and then I'm going to add two cups

of grated cheese I like to use tasty

cheese

but you can use any any type of cheese

that you prefer

and with a knife I'm just going to

gently combine the cheese into the dry

ingredients

okay I'm now going to make a well in the

middle

and I'm going to add in one cup

of milk

and then with the knife I'm just going

to gently

combine the milk into the mixture

now one of the most important things

about making scones is to work quickly

but lightly so I'm not

going to be too hard on the mixture I'm

just going to bring it together until

it's just combined

okay so that mixture has just come

together

and what I'm going to do now is I'm

going to dust

I'm going to dust the

bench with a little bit of flour

and I'm going to tip the mixture onto

the flour

foreign

[Music]

just a little bit damp so I'm just gonna

put some flour on top not too much

and I'm just going to gently

press it out

into a rectangle

as you can see I haven't worked this

dough

much at all

now I'm going to show you how to cut the

scones because that's really important

to know how to cut scones correctly now

a lot of people

will use a glass or something with a rim

now I would strongly suggest you don't

do this and I'll tell you why if you use

a glass

what you're doing is you're actually

pushing down too hard on the dough and

the dough compresses

and so when you put it in the oven it's

not going to rise properly on the on the

sides

so what I like to use is I either use a

really sharp knife and just cut very

gradually through the the scone mixture

or I will use a propax gone or cookie

cutter

and what I'll do is I'll just gently

press down

onto the mixture like that

and this recipe will give you around

eight scones and that last little one is

always a little bit messy so that one's

for the cook

okay this tray is really hot so I'm

going to work really quickly here and

I'm just going to dust some flour on the

tray and then place the scones

on the tray like this

you just want to give them a little bit

of breathing space

and then I'm just going to

give them a bit of an egg wash

you don't need to do this but I think

they look

nicer with a little bit of

egg on top or you can just use milk

okay

so into the oven they go

[Music]

so here they are fresh out of the oven I

had them cooking for about 15 minutes

and as you can see they have risen

beautifully and are beautiful and golden

so I'm just going to pop these on a

plate

and I was just going to say to you as

well

you can add to these scones you can add

fresh herbs or you can add onion or

maybe some cheese not some cheese or

maybe some bacon or ham

or even some cayenne pepper is delicious

if you like to have a bit of heat in

your scones

so I hope that this has helped you

with the tips and tricks that I've

explained to you and that you try this

recipe and enjoy it at your place

thanks for watching
