Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 cups Sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 3 tablespoons Chutney (mango or tomato, your preference)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.75 cups Whole milk (plus extra for brushing)
- 1 Egg (lightly beaten)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk, chutney, honey, and egg.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture into it. Stir gently with a fork or spatula until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead it 2-3 times to bring it together, then pat it into a circle about 1-inch thick.
Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 wedges (like a pie) and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the scones with additional milk for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
