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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Stir in the grated cheddar cheese, reserving a small handful for topping the scones later.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Optional: Lightly sprinkle the reserved cheddar cheese and a pinch of paprika over the top of each scone for extra flavor and color.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and the cheese on top is bubbly.
Step 10
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!
