Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 1 large Egg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Mix in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and dried basil until evenly distributed.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and the egg until well combined.

Step 6

Pour the milk and egg mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife or a bench scraper, cut the circle into 8 equal wedges.

Step 9

Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Step 10

Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on the edges and top.

Step 11

Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature. These scones are delicious on their own or with a dollop of butter!
