Ingredients

• 250 grams all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 85 grams unsalted butter
• 100 grams sharp cheddar cheese, grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 120 milliliters milk
• 1 unit egg, lightly beaten
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Step 3

Add the unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the grated cheddar cheese, minced garlic, and ground black pepper until evenly distributed.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and lightly beaten egg.

Step 6

Pour the milk and egg mixture into the dry ingredients, reserving about 1 tablespoon for brushing the tops of the scones.

Step 7

Mix the dough gently with a wooden spoon until it just comes together. Do not over-mix, as this can result in tough scones.

Step 8

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Pat the dough into a circle about 2.5cm (1 inch) thick.

Step 9

Using a round cutter, cut out scones from the dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Re-roll the scraps and repeat until all dough is used.

Step 10

Brush the tops of the scones with the reserved milk and egg mixture.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 12

Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
