Ingredients
Scones
- 2 1/4 cups (315g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 cup (4oz) cold butter cubed
- 1 cup (4oz) sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 cup buttermilk
Egg Wash
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°Cover a baking sheet in parchment paper or foil.
- Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cayenne and salt in a large bowl.
- Using a pastry cutter or food processor, cut butter into flour mixture until no butter pieces larger than a pea remain. Add cheese and stir.
- Mix in buttermilk, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface and knead until the dough is no longer sticky, about 6-7 times.
- Re-flour surface and press dough out to 1/2-inch thick and cut into 16 2 1/2-inch rounds.
- Beat egg and water together.
- Place scones on baking sheet and brush with egg wash. Bake for 12-14 minutes until scones are golden. If you are unsure if scones are done, carefully lift one and check the bottom of the scone. If it's lightly browned, it's done.
