Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 75 grams Unsalted butter (cold, diced)
- 100 grams Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 25 grams Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 120 milliliters Milk
- 1 large Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional, for flavor)
- 1 bowl Fondue for dipping (your preferred recipe or store-bought)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. If using nutmeg, add it here for an enhanced flavor profile.
Add the cold, diced butter to the dry ingredients. Using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Mix in the shredded Cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan until evenly distributed.
Gradually add the milk while gently stirring with a fork. Combine just until the dough comes together and avoid overmixing.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently press and fold it a few times to bring it together, then pat it into a roughly 2 cm (3/4 inch) thick disk.
Use a round cutter (about 5 cm or 2 inches in diameter) to cut out scones and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet. Gather leftover dough, reshape, and cut again until all the dough is used.
Brush the top of each scone with the beaten egg to give the scones a golden, glossy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are puffed and golden.
Remove scones from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack.
Serve the warm scones with your prepared or store-bought fondue for dipping, and enjoy this delightful savory treat!
