Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 75 grams Rolled oats
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 85 grams Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 125 grams Sharp cheddar cheese (grated)
- 120 milliliters Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika or smoked paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Add the cubed cold butter to the dry ingredients. Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
Stir in the grated cheddar cheese, reserving a small handful for topping the scones later.
In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and the egg. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients gradually, stirring gently with a fork or spoon, until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Press or roll the dough into a circle about 2.5 cm (1 inch) thick.
Using a sharp knife or a dough cutter, divide the dough into 8 triangular wedges or use a round cutter to shape individual scones. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
Optional: Lightly sprinkle the reserved cheddar cheese and a pinch of paprika over the top of each scone for extra flavor and color.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and the cheese on top is bubbly.
Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes. Serve warm with butter or enjoy on their own!
