- 250 grams of flour 0000
- 1 dessert spoon of baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 40 grams of cold butter
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 40 cubic centimeters of cold milk
- 120 grams of cheese
- 1 dessert spoon of mustard
- 1 egg

How to make Cheese Scones:
- Before starting with the cheese scones recipe, you must preheat the oven to 180 ° Also spread with oil and flour a baking sheet or roasting pan.
- Next, grate the cheese of your choice.
- Tip: you can use any semi-hard or hard cheese, for example: Pateros, Fontana, Parmesan, Reggiani to or a combination of them. Keep in mind that the tastier the cheese, the richer the scones will be.
- Next, pour the flour on the allowance. Next, add the baking powder and baking soda and mix all the ingredients together.
- You must form a crown with the flour and place the cold butter cut into cubes in the center. Work these ingredients with your finger tips or a cornet until they form a sand blasting. Remember that you should not knead, only integrate.
- Tip: it is possible to make cheese scones with self-rising flour or cheese scones with whole wheat flour, but in this case we use 0000 flour.
- Next, form a crown again and in the center add the egg, milk, grated cheese, cream cheese and mustard.
- Tip: there is the possibility of preparing the cheese scones without milk, but in this case we use it to make the dough lighter.
- Subsequently, join the ingredients forming a dough but without needing, since we do not need to form gluten. The idea is to achieve an airy dough that crumbles when eaten. You must stretch the dough in the shape of a square or rectangle that is approximately 2 cm high.
- Now it’s time to cut the scones in the format you prefer. I made them triangular, but you can make them square or round, with a cut of the size you want. Distribute the scones on the oiled and floured plate and take to the preheated oven at 180 °C for about 25 minutes or until you see them slightly golden.
- When they are ready, remove the cheese scones from the oven, put them in a dish and let them warm up for a few minutes so as not to burn yourself. To eat!
