Sourdough Savoury Cheese Scones
Posted: 26 Jul 2020, 15:26
We are low on bread and my starter needs a refresh so I have some discard. I first mixed up the makings of a Bloomer as that takes the longest to produce, it's should have more or less completed it's first rise as I post.
I thought I would use the discard for some savoury scones. Here is the recipe I have used:
350g - Self Raising Flour
90g - Cold Butter
5g - Salt
7g - Baking Powder
220ml - Milk
100ml - Sourdough Starter
70g - Mature Cheddar or other cheese of choice, (grated)
Rub flour and butter together to a fine crumb, then add all the other ingredients. I mixed the dry stuff first then added the cheese, starter and milk. Mix gently with a spoon but not too much. Turn out onto a floured surface. Pat down to about 4cm thick, cut out and set on a baking sheet or greased tray. Brush with egg and milk or add a little more grated cheese on top.
Bake at 180C, about gas 5 for 10 -15 minutes then have a look, they may need slightly longer until golden brown. Remove and allow to cool before consuming.
