Savory Cheddar Scones

Savory Cheddar Scones are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that will satisfy your cravings for something savory and cheesy. These scones are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a snack. The recipe is simple and requires only a few ingredients, making it a great option for busy mornings or lazy afternoons.

To make Savory Cheddar Scones, you will need the following ingredients:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg, beaten

This recipe makes 8 scones.
To start, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and beaten egg. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until it comes together. Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. Use a sharp knife to cut the circle into 8 wedges.
Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Serve warm.
Savory Cheddar Scones are a perfect combination of savory and cheesy flavors. The scones are crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. They are best served warm, straight out of the oven. These scones are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a snack.
