Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the chilled, diced butter to the dry ingredients. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the dry mixture until it resembles breadcrumbs.
Stir in the grated cheese, reserving a small handful for topping the scones later.
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.
Lightly flour a clean surface and turn out the dough. Gently pat or roll it to about 2 cm (3/4 inch) thickness.
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.
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.
Sprinkle the reserved grated cheese over the tops of the scones.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Serve warm with butter, or enjoy on their own!
