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)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Rub the butter into the flour using your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the grated cheddar cheese and parmesan (if using). Mix well to evenly distribute the cheese.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a round disk about 2.5 cm (1 inch) thick.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are puffed and golden.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow the scones to cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm with butter or extra cheese.
