Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 50 grams Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 150 grams Sharp cheddar cheese (grated)
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese (grated, optional)
- 150 milliliters Whole milk
- 1 large Egg (for egg wash, optional)
- 1 pinch Paprika or cayenne pepper (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Rub the butter into the flour using your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Stir in the grated cheddar cheese and parmesan (if using). Mix well to evenly distribute the cheese.
Gradually add the milk, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a round disk about 2.5 cm (1 inch) thick.
Using a 5 cm (2 inch) round cookie cutter, cut out scones and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather the dough scraps and repeat until all the dough is used.
If desired, beat the egg and brush it over the tops of the scones for a golden finish. Sprinkle with a pinch of paprika or cayenne pepper for added flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are puffed and golden.
Remove from the oven and allow the scones to cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm with butter or extra cheese.
