Growing up, my mother always made Hungarian Cheese Scones every Sunday. It was something I looked forward to all week. These traditional Hungarian scones are filled with sour cream and cheese, and topped with shredded cheese which makes them an extra tasty treat. They are the perfect salty snack, and are a crowd-pleaser at family events, parties and functions! Hungarian cheese scones are also excellent appetizers, and taste wonderful paired with deli meats on a chacucterie board. Major bonus, these scones can be prepared in less than an hour, and they can be frozen ahead of time, to be baked at your convenience.

Hungarian cheese scones brushed with an egg wash and sprinkled with cheese - ready to go into the oven.

Ingredients

Dough

(3 cups + 2 tbsp) [500 g] all purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
7/8 cup [200 g] unsalted butter, shaved
1 cup [250g] 2% sour cream
2/3 cup [100 g] shredded marble cheese
200 ml warm milk
2 tsp yeast
1 tsp sugar

Topping

1 large egg yolk
50 g shredded marble or cheddar cheese
1 tbsp salt

Instructions

Add the yeast and sugar to the warm milk. Wait for several minutes to allow the yeast to bud.
In a stand mixer, or large mixing bowl, mix the yeast mixture from step 1 with the salt, flour, butter, sour cream, and shredded marble cheese.
Once a dough forms, roll it into a ball and place into a large well-oiled bowl.
Cover the bowl and allow the dough to rise until it doubles in size (~ 1 hour)
Preheat the oven to 350 deg F and line two large baking trays with parchment paper.
Lightly sprinkle your working station and rolling pin with flour.
Roll out the dough so that it is 3-4 cm thick.
Using a round cookie cutter (2.75 inches in diameter), cut circles from your dough, using your hands to shape them into neat circles as you work.
Place your shaped dough onto the baking tray and cover with egg yolk.
Sprinkle the scones with shredded cheese and salt.
Bake the scones in the oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Looks like a good recipe but I don't know how to convert measurements.

  I understand this will take a few min., but you can Google g to cups and you'll see a 'box' to enter the gram #, then the cup measurement pops right up. These sound yummy enough to go through the work. I'm going to print this for myself and do that conversion step. Good luck.

  Hi Karen and Michelle, I've added measurements in cups for those who don't own a food scale - enjoy!
