Cheese and Herb Scones

Preparación

1. 1

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

2. 2

   In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

3. 3

   Add the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped fresh herbs to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.

4. 4

   Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

5. 5

   Pour in the milk and stir until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

6. 6

   Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until smooth.

7. 7

   Roll the dough out to about 1-inch thickness and use a round cutter to cut out scones. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.

8. 8

   Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on top.
