Preparation Steps
1
Activate the yeast: in lukewarm beer, stir in the sugar and yeast, then let it stand for 10 minutes until foamy.
2
In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt, then rub in the butter until it resembles breadcrumbs.
3
Add the sour cream, egg, and the activated yeast mixture, then knead the dough thoroughly until smooth.
4
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to about Ÿ inch (2 cm) thickness, then fold it in thirds three times to create layers.
5
Cover with a kitchen towel and let rest for 30 minutes to allow the dough to rise slightly.
6
Roll out the dough again to about Ÿ inch (2 cm) thickness, then use a round cookie cutter to cut out the scones.
7
Place the scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and brush the tops with beaten egg.
8
Sprinkle the tops with grated cheese, then bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
9
Let cool slightly, then serve fresh, with a crispy exterior and a tender interior.
