| Cooking Time | 22-25 minutes |
| Total Time | 42-55 minutes |
| Level of Difficulty | Medium |
Ingredients
- 350 grams of flour
- 1 packet of dry yeast (7 g)
- 1 teaspoon of sugar
- 150 grams of butter
- 300 g of sheep cottage cheese
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 egg (for brushing)
- Mixture of sunflower seeds and flaxseeds
Step 1: Preheat Oven and Prepare Dry Ingredients
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) to ensure it’s ready for baking.
In a large bowl, combine 350 grams of flour, 1 packet of dry yeast (7 g), and 1 teaspoon of sugar.
Mix these dry ingredients together thoroughly.
Step 2: Incorporate Butter and Cheese
Add 150 grams of butter to the flour mixture.
Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, crumble the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Incorporate 300 grams of sheep cottage cheese into the mixture.
Add 1 teaspoon of salt (or 2 teaspoons if using traditional cottage cheese) and continue mixing until well combined.
Step 3: Knead and Roll Out the Dough
Knead the dough until it reaches a smooth consistency.
This may take a few minutes, so be patient.
Once the dough is smooth, roll it out on a floured surface to a thickness of about 2-3 cm.
Step 4: Cut and Prepare Scones
Using a small biscuit cutter, cut the rolled dough into scone shapes.
In a separate small bowl, beat one whole egg and use a pastry brush to apply a thin layer of the egg wash to the tops of each scone.
Optionally, sprinkle a mixture of sunflower seeds and flaxseeds on top of the scones.
You can also add grated cheese, cumin seeds, or other seeds for extra flavor.
Step 5: Bake the Scones
Place the scones on a baking tray, ensuring they have enough space to expand slightly during cooking.
Bake them in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Once the scones are baked to a golden brown, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy your freshly baked scones!
