Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter (cold)
• ¹⁄₂ cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 2 tablespoon Jalapeno peppers (seeded and finely chopped)
• ¹⁄₂ cup Milk
• 1 large Egg

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Stir in the cheddar cheese and jalapeno peppers.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Gradually add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for a few seconds until it comes together.
6. Pat the dough into a circle about 1-inch thick. Cut into 8 wedges and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
8. Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes before serving.
