Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
Cut the butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use your hands or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Stir in the grated cheddar cheese.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times to bring it together. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle.
-
Use a round biscuit cutter to cut out scones from the dough. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet.
-
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
-
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
