Preparation Steps
1
In lukewarm milk, stir in the sugar, then crumble in the yeast. Let stand for 10 minutes, or until foamy.
2
Grate the celery and squeeze out any excess moisture.
3
In a large bowl, sift in the flour, add the salt, and rub in the cold butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
4
Pour in the yeast mixture, sour cream, and whole egg. Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic.
5
Incorporate the grated celery and grated cheese into the dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.
6
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 2 cm (approximately ¾ inch) thickness, then fold it over itself several times to create layers.
7
Roll out the dough again to 2 cm (approximately ¾ inch) thickness. Use a round cutter to cut out the scones. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
8
Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with grated cheese. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) until golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
9
Let the scones cool on a wire rack, then serve fresh or store in an airtight container.
