Cheese Scones
Overview
I was cleaning out the refrigerator today and remembered that there was a piece of mozzarella cheese forgotten in the corner. I thought I didn't have much time, so I might as well use some to make scones. My daughter would be hungry after school, so the baking time would be just right.

Steps
-
First cut the butter into small cubes, then cut the mozzarella cheese, mix and chop, then add the sugar, then add the self-rising flour and baking powder and mix well.
-
Once it becomes this dry and wet granular shape, you can add milk, and then add eggs depending on the dryness and humidity. In fact, I grabbed it with my hands. Using a cutting board is too slow. If I use my hands, I can control whether the dough is dry or wet more accurately.
-
I forgot to take a photo of the dough after mixing well. After I rolled out the dough into a square shape about three centimeters on a baking sheet, I put the baking sheet and the dough together in the freezer of the refrigerator. After freezing for ten minutes, I took it out, cut it into pieces, and then brushed it with egg wash. This photo was taken from outside the oven.
-
Preheat the oven to 190 degrees and bake on the middle rack for 17 minutes. The baked scones are so crispy that they fall apart if you pull them harder.
-
Because there is salt and cheese, it tastes sweet and slightly salty with a strong cheese flavor. It's very crunchy, which is what I like about scones.
