Ingredients:
- 1½ cups grated cheese
- 2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 6 teaspoons (85 g) cold butter
- 1 egg
- 1 cup sour cream
Creative Process
- Prepare the cheese.
Grate the cheese and set aside.
- Prepare the dry ingredients.
Sift the flour into a large bowl. Add the baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix well.
- Add the butter.
Cut the cold butter into small pieces. Rub it into the flour mixture until it forms fine crumbs.
- Combine with cheese.
Add the grated cheese and stir to distribute evenly.
- Prepare the wet ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg with the sour cream until smooth.
- Form the dough.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Stir with a spoon, then knead gently by hand until the dough forms.
- Preheat the oven.
Heat the oven to 355°F (180°C).
- Shape the scones.
Divide the dough into 2 or 3 portions. Shape each into a round flat disk.
Cut each disk like a pizza into 6–8 triangles.
Transfer to a baking tray, leaving space between pieces.
Brush the tops with cream and sprinkle extra cheese if desired.
- Bake.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, until golden and puffed.
- Cool slightly and serve warm.
Storage Tips
Store at room temperature for 1–2 days.
