Recipes FAQ:

Can I freeze these cheese scones?

Yes, you can freeze these cheese scones. Allow them to cool completely, then wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw the scones at room temperature for a few hours, then warm them up in the oven for a few minutes.

Can I use a different type of cheese?

Yes, you can use any type of cheese you like. Try using a combination of different cheeses for a more complex flavor.

Can I make these scones without eggs?

Yes, you can make these scones without eggs. Simply omit the egg and add a little extra milk to the dough.

Recipe Tips:

  • Make sure the butter is cold when you add it to the flour mixture, as this will help to create a flaky texture.
  • Handle the dough as little as possible to prevent the scones from becoming tough.
  • Use a sharp pastry cutter or a knife to cut out the scones, as this will help them rise evenly.
  • Don't over-bake the scones, as this will dry them out. They should be golden brown on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside.
