Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp Baking powder
• 2 tsp Granulated sugar
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cut into small cubes)
• 2 Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 1 Egg (large, beaten)
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley or chives (chopped, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) 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 cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, blend the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and shredded cheddar cheese. If using parsley or chives, toss those in as well.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and beaten egg. Reserve about 1 tablespoon of this mixture to brush on top of the scones later.

Step 6

Pour the remaining milk and egg mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until the dough just comes together, being careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut the dough into 8 triangular wedges. Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.

Step 9

Brush the tops of the scones with the reserved milk and egg mixture to ensure a golden brown crust.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden and cooked through.

Step 11

Allow the scones to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm with butter or on their own as a delicious savory treat!
