Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter extremely cold or frozen
  • 4 ounces Garlic Herb Cheddar shredded, see note
  • 1 cup Milk cold
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tablespoon Water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet.
  • In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt
  • Using a pastry cutter or a cheese grater, cut the COLD butter into the flour.
  • Work it in with your hands until coarse crumbles about the size of a pea are formed. Work the garlic herb cheddar in the same way.
  • Pour in the milk and gently work it into the dough until it just comes together.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, knead two to three times, and then pat it out to about 3/4” thick.
  • Cut the dough into 20-24 2” circles and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Whisk together the egg and water and brush the tops of the scones with the egg wash.
  • Bake for 20 -25 minutes.

Notes

  • If you can’t find garlic herb cheddar, you can use 1/2 cup grated sharp white cheddar, 1 teaspoon of very finely minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon dry (or 3 teaspoons finely chopped fresh) dill.
