Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
-
Add the cold butter pieces to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
-
Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk. Stir until the dough just comes together; do not overmix.
-
Lightly dust a clean surface with flour and turn out the dough. Gently knead it a few times until it holds together.
-
Roll out the dough to about 1-inch thickness. Use the heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out scones and place them on the prepared baking sheet, reshaping the dough as needed to use it all.
-
Brush the tops of the scones with the beaten egg to create a shiny finish.
-
Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
-
Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm with a pat of butter or your favorite jam.
