Rosemary and Goat Cheese Scones
What does one do with large quantities of goat cheese? How about scones?
When I made chevre cheese, I ended up with way more than I knew what to do with, so I started thinking about ways it could be used in greater quantities than simply spread on a cracker. I searched for recipes for chevre cheese on the internet and decided, in the end, on scones, since I had all the ingredients necessary for making them. The cheese basically substitutes for butter.
If I had had fruit, I would have made sweeter fruity scones, but didn't and I have developed a taste for rosemary, so these sounded good too.
Rosemary Goat Cheese Scones
2 c. all-purpose flour
2/3 c. whole wheat flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 c. olive oil
1/4 c. honey
1 egg
1/2 c. milk
2 Tbs. fresh rosemary
About 1 c. chevre goat cheese - I kept adding more until it made the right texture of dough
Mix together the dry ingredients. Then, use a pastry cutter or a fork to cut the chevre into this flour mixture until it looks like coarse crumbs. Make a well in the middle, put the rest of the ingredients in it and whisk them together. Then, stir everything together until it forms a ball.
On a silicone baking mat, form the dough into a square about an inch thick. Obviously mine did not turn out as a real square, but a rectangle works too. Cut it into around 15-16 pieces, depending on whether you have a square or a rectangle, and spread the pieces apart just a little bit.
Bake at 425F for 12 to 15 minutes, until golden brown.
