Cheddar & Sage scones Recipe

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°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 to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped sage.

Pour the buttermilk into the bowl and stir until a soft dough forms.

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

Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick round and use a round biscuit cutter to cut out scones. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet.

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

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
