• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed

📝 Instructions

12 steps

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

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

3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Mix in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and dried basil until evenly distributed.

5. In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and the egg until well combined.

6. Pour the milk and egg mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

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

8. Using a sharp knife or a bench scraper, cut the circle into 8 equal wedges.

9. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

10. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on the edges and top.

11. Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

12. Serve warm or at room temperature. These scones are delicious on their own or with a dollop of butter!
