Wallace and Gromit Cheese Scones for Serious Cheese Lovers!
By: French Tart
Jan 25, 2007
"We need more cheese Gromit!" Very serious cheesy scones which use way more cheese than normal for a scone mix; they will not rise quite as high as plain scones - but as you can see from the photo, they get there! Try and use a good quality mature Cheddar or any local type of strong cheese that is available. They can be made in about 20 minutes, if you have all the ingredients to hand and the oven has been pre-heated. Great for afternoon tea, picnics, buffets & packed lunches. You can also add chopped chives & herbs for a change.
SERVES 6 -7 , 12 -14 Scones
Ingredients
- 500 g plain flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 4 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1/2 teaspoon English mustard powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 75 g butter
- 300 ml milk
- 200 g extra mature cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 egg, beaten
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 220C/450F/Gas mark 7.2
Mix all the dry ingredients together.3
Rub in the butter until it remsembles crumbs.4
Add 5 ounces of the grated cheese & mix well.5
Add the milk and mix very quickly - do not over mix.6
Mixture should be sticky and soft, if too dry, add more milk.7
Place onto a floured board a knead briefly.8
Roll out to about 3cms/1" thickness.9
Stamp 12-14 rounds out of the dough - do NOT twist the scone cutters as it stops them from rising!10
Place close together on a greased biscuit/baking tray.11
Brush the beaten egg over each scone as a glaze and sprinkle the remaining 1 ounce of cheese over the top.12
Bake in a pre-heated oven for 10-12 minutes until well risen and golden brown.13
Cool slightly, then spilt them in half, butter them -- divine!

MMMMMMMM! What a true winner! I made these scones for breakkie today and they were so cheesy, flaky and fluffy! The dough was very easy to work with and everything came together quite quickly. Instead of mustard I used more cayenne pepper, which made the scones just a little spicy. YUM! Thanks so much for sharing these lovely scones with us, French Tart! A definite keeper, which I will surely include into my scones routine from now on. Made as a THANK YOU for our wonderful, funny and commited hostess in Everyday is a Holiday Tag Game. We will miss you!

I love cheese and I love these scones! I used good quality extra sharp cheddar and added some green onion. I made my scones really small, because I'm watching my portions, so I ended up with 19 scones.

We love cheese in this family and we loved these! I served them with a roast but I think they would be perfect as a side with a soup dish. Both DH & I give this two BIG thumbs up!

I'm crackers about these scones, Gromit - I mean French Tart! I even forgot to save some of the cheese for the topping and they were still great. I love the cayenne pepper - just enough bite. I didn't have English mustard powder, but I'll get it for next time. Thanks for posting!
