Mini Mozzarella Cheese Scones Recipes

MINI PARMESAN SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet.
• In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt and cheese. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the butter, milk and water; stir gently to combine. Add water in small amounts until dough pulls together.
• Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth and press out to 3/4 inch thickness. Cut dough into rounds with a floured 1 1/4 inch cookie or biscuit cutter. Place rounds on prepared tray and sprinkle lightly with cayenne pepper.
• Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Handle scones gently until complete cool.

MINI MOZZARELLA CHEESE SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°C or around 400°F.
• Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit a baking tray.
• Sift flour, salt, cayenne pepper and baking powder into a mixing bowl.
• Rub butter with finger tips into the flour mixture until it becomes like fine bread crumbs.
• Mix grated cheese, paisley flakes and sugar into the flour mixture, mixture should have consistency which resemble "bread crumbs".
• Make a well into the mixture and add milk, leaving a little bit to brush on the scones if you wish.
• Combine with a spatula or wooden spoon so that it becomes a dough, knead quickly and gently on a lightly floured board, pat dough out into approximately 2.5cm thick and cut with a 4-5cm round cutter, into as many rounds as you can. I usually roll the last bits into balls, brush the top with a little milk and place on parchment paper on the tray and bake for about 10-12 minutes until tops are lightly browned.
• Remove from oven and place on cooling rack so as not to burn the bottom.
