Cheddar Dinner Scones

Instructions

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

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

3. Add the cold diced butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until well combined.

6. Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour the milk and egg mixture into it.

7. Gently mix the wet and dry ingredients together until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.

8. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick.

9. Using a sharp knife or a biscuit cutter, cut the dough into wedges or circles, depending on your preference.

10. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them for expansion.

11. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.

12. Remove from the oven and let the scones cool slightly before serving.
