Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
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.
Stir in the grated cheddar cheese, minced garlic, and ground black pepper until evenly distributed.
In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and lightly beaten egg.
Pour the milk and egg mixture into the dry ingredients, reserving about 1 tablespoon for brushing the tops of the scones.
Mix the dough gently with a wooden spoon until it just comes together. Do not over-mix, as this can result in tough scones.
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.
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.
Brush the tops of the scones with the reserved milk and egg mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
