2 Ways to Make Irresistibly Delicious Savory Cheese, Onion, and Cold Meat Scones

Prepare the ingredients

First, rinse the green onions and chop them finely. Cut the cheddar cheese into small pieces and place it in the freezer to harden.

Next, heat a pan on the stove and sauté the chopped green onions for about 30 seconds over medium heat until they are slightly cooked.

Sift and mix the flour

Sift into a bowl: 250g cake flour, 6g baking powder, 1g salt, then add 50g sugar and mix well.

Next, add 40g of cold unsalted butter and use your hands to crumble the butter and mix it with the flour.

When the butter and flour are combined, add 1 egg, the sautéed green onions, and 35ml of unsweetened milk. Continue to mix the mixture by hand.

Finally, add the cheddar cheese and knead the dough into a homogeneous mass.

Roll and cut the dough

Dust a layer of dry flour on the table to prevent sticking, then use a rolling pin to roll out the dough.

Next, fold in the two sides of the dough block and continue rolling.

On the final roll, fold and roll the dough into a square shape, then place it in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

After 1 hour, use a knife to cut the scones into 8 equal pieces.

Bake the scones

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes to stabilize the temperature.

Prepare a baking tray lined with parchment paper, then brush a layer of milk on the surface of the scones.

Next, bake the scones at 180 degrees Celsius for 20 – 25 minutes until they are done.

Finished Product

The savory cheese and green onion scone has a golden-brown crust that is crisp when bitten. The cake has a light sweet nuttiness from the flour, creamy and slightly salty flavor from the cheese, combined with the distinctive aroma of green onions.

Prepare the ingredients

First, grate 130g of cheese, then chop 10g of green onions.

Next, dice 10g of ham.

Mix butter and flour

Add 310g of flour, 6g of baking powder, 6g of salt, 1g of pepper, 70g of brown sugar, and 115g of cold unsalted butter into a bowl.

Next, use a specialized tool or your hands to mash the butter until fine, then mix it well with the flour mixture.

Knead the dough

Add 30ml of fresh milk, 120g of unsweetened yogurt, and 1 egg into the bowl of flour and mix well until the dough sticks together.

Then, add in half of the grated cheddar cheese, half of the green onions, and two-thirds of the ham. Use your hands to knead the dough until the mixture is completely blended.

Finally, press the dough into a block and let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Cut the dough, bake the scones

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes to stabilize the temperature.

Take the dough out of the refrigerator, then use your hands to press and flatten the dough so that it is about 1 large finger thick.

Next, use a knife to divide the dough into 8 equal parts and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Then, sprinkle some chopped green onions, cheese, and ham on top of the dough and bake at 200 degrees Celsius for 18 – 20 minutes.

Finished Product

The cheese and ham scone just out of the oven is fragrant, with a crispy outer layer that crunches when bitten, while the inside is soft and slightly chewy with a savory and rich cheese and meat filling, both delicious and nutritious.
