Recipe for Cheddar Cheese SconesBaking Time: 15-20 minutes Ingredient List: 2 Cups of all-purpose flour Kitchen Equipment Needed Large mixing bowls Instructions: Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda and basil. Stir in the sharp shredded cheese and stir to coat the cheese. Step 3: In a separate bowl, combine egg, sour cream, oil and milk. Step 4: Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon or spatula just until incorporated. Step 5: Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently until mixture forms together into a soft ball. Do not knead any longer than you have to in order for dough to stick together and be incorporated. Step 6: Gently pat the dough out to approximately 12" round and about a 1/4" thickness. Step 7: Cut into 8 wedges if you are using a scone pan. You can also cut into 8-12 slices. Step 8: Using a pie server or square spatula, remove and place the scones on a greased baking sheet. Step 9: Bake at 425 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until the scones are golden brown. Makes 8-12 large scones. Serve warm with butter. *****If you don't want to knead the dough, you can make drop scones by scooping large spoonfuls of the dough onto a greased baking sheet. They will turn out looking a little bit more like biscuits, but will still retain their wonderful flavor.More Scone RecipesTraditional SconesApricot Scones Cranberry Scones Cheddar Cheese Scones Scone PansMake perfectly shaped scones with these cast iron baking pans.Scone MixesDecided you don't want the hassle of making scones from scratch?
