Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 60 grams Unsalted butter, chilled and diced
- 100 grams Cheddar cheese, grated
- 150 milliliters Whole milk
- 1 whole Egg, beaten (optional, for glazing)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3
Add the chilled, diced butter to the dry ingredients. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the dry mixture until it resembles breadcrumbs.
Step 4
Stir in the grated cheese, reserving a small handful for topping the scones later.
Step 5
Gradually add the milk to the mixture, a little at a time, and mix gently with a fork until it forms a soft, pliable dough. Avoid over-mixing.
Step 6
Lightly flour a clean surface and turn out the dough. Gently pat or roll it to about 2 cm (3/4 inch) thickness.
Step 7
Use a round cutter (about 5 cm or 2 inches in diameter) to cut out the scones. Re-roll any leftover dough and repeat until all the dough is used.
Step 8
Place the scones on the prepared baking tray, spacing them slightly apart. Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a shiny finish, if desired.
Step 9
Sprinkle the reserved grated cheese over the tops of the scones.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Step 12
Serve warm with butter, or enjoy on their own!
