Cuisine: American, English
Servings: 18
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- Pinch salt
- 1 1/2 cups cream
- 1 cup apple peeled and diced
- 1 cup 4 oz shredded cheddar cheese
Preheat oven to 375°
In the bowl of a mixer add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Give the mixer a mix on low to combine.
Then drizzle in the heavy cream and mix on medium to combine.
Add the apple and cheese and mix until just combined, the mixture will look like crumbs, but moist.
Scoop with a 3 tablespoon scoop and press the dough into the scoop to hold its shape, then drop onto parchment lined baking sheet.
Or turn the mixture out onto wax paper and pat it into place, or roll it into desired thickness and cut it into triangles.
Add a thick piece of shredded cheese to the tops of each scone.
Bake until a toothpick comes out clean and scones feel “light” when picked up versus “heavy and wet”. But don’t overbake.
These baked for 15 minutes at 375°.
Test the scones with a toothpick, add 1 minute at a time if needed. Larger or thicker scones may take a minute or two longer.
