"To
cook is to create. And to create well...
is an act of integrity, and faith."
Cheese
Scones
“Afternoon tea is probably the simplest fashion in which to exercise
hospitality. Pretty cups and saucers are among the possessions of
which the
young
housekeeper has a generous store and they will
make an attractive array
on the afternoon tea table.”

5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon
baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons dry
English mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground
black pepper
14 ounces extra-sharp Cheddar,
grated coarse
(about 3 1/2 cups)
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted
butter, cut into small pieces
4 large eggs
3/4 to 1 cup milk
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. and grease 2 baking sheets.
In a large bowl
whisk together flour, baking powder, mustard, salt and pepper. With fingertips toss in 3
cups Cheddar and blend in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal.
In a small bowl
whisk together eggs and 3/4 cup milk and stir into flour, adding more milk if necessary,
until mixture just forms a sticky but man- ageable dough. On a lightly floured surface knead
dough gently about 10
times and with floured hands flatten into a 1-inch-thick round With
a
2 1/2-inch round cutter or rim of a glass dipped in flour cut out as many
rounds as
possible, transferring them to baking sheets. Gather scraps
into a ball and flatten. Cut
out more rounds in same manner and sprinkle
scones with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake
scones in upper and lower
thirds of oven, switching position of sheets halfway through
baking, 15
to 20 minutes, or until golden, and cool on a rack. Serve scones warm
or at
room temperature. Makes about 24 scones.
