CHEESE AND HERB SCONES
Recipe by: Country Cooking, summer 1994
Serving Size: 8
Category: Scones
Ingredients:
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 cups All-purpose flour
4 teaspoons Baking powder
1 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Dried basil
1/4 teaspoon Dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon Ground red pepper
2/3 cup Vegetable shortening
1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
1 1/3 cups Milk
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees; grease a large baking sheet. In a large bowl, combine
flour, baking powder, salt, basil, thyme and red pepper. With a pastry blender, or two
knives, cut in the shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in 3/4 cup
cheddar cheese. Add milk and mustard to dry ingredients and mix lightly with a fork
until mixture clings together and forms a soft dough. Turn dough out onto a lightly
floured surface and knead gently 5 or 6 times. Divide dough in half. With a lightly
floured rolling pin, roll one half of the dough into a 7-inch round; cut into 4 wedges.
Repeat with remaining dough. Place scones one inch apart on prepared pan. Pierce
tops with the tines of a fork. Brush tops with water and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm.
