Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour

2 tablespoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter -- (1 stick)

1 cup grated Cheddar cheese -- (4 ounces)

1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper*

3/4 cup buttermilk or plain yogurt -- (6 ounces)

milk (for glaze)

 

*This amount of black pepper will make very spicy scones. For less heat,

decrease the amount of pepper.

 

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt

and sugar. Cut in the butter and cheese. Stir in the black pepper.

Refrigerate the dough for half an hour. Gently stir in the buttermilk or

yogurt. Gather the mixture into a ball with your hands, and on a

well-floured surface roll or pat the dough into an 12 x 8-inch rectangle

approximately 3/4-inch thick.

 

Grease a baking sheet. Using a large spatula, or a couple of spatulas,

transfer the dough to the baking sheet. Use a dough scraper, baker's bench

knife or a knife to cut dough into 1 1/2-inch squares. Separate the

squares

slightly on the baking sheet. Brush each square with a little milk " "

 

Bake the scones in a preheated 400F oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until

they're very lightly browned. Yield: about 40 small scones

 

Scones, formerly known mainly to fanciers of British food, have become

very

familiar to most of us on this side of the ocean, due to their bakery and

coffee-shop popularity over the past 5 years or so. Wedges, squares or

circles of a buttery biscuit-type dough, baked quickly at high heat till

golden brown, scones usually come plain or dotted with fruit or nuts.

Spread

with butter and jam or preserves, they've become a staple at breakfast and

tea time.

 

But scones needn't be thought of as simply a sweet treat. Offer a savory

version in the bread basket at your main meal. They're very similar to

baking powder biscuits, and are easily seasoned to go with whatever you're

serving.
