Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Add the grated cheese and mix well. TIP: For a finer cheese distribution, grate the cheese fresh using a medium-sized grater.
2
Rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. TIP: Use cold butter and work quickly to prevent it from melting.
3
Add the sour cream and knead the dough until it is smooth and uniform. If necessary, add a little more sour cream.
4
Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1.5 cm on a lightly floured surface, then cut out circular scones using a cookie cutter. TIP: Dust the cookie cutter with flour to prevent the dough from sticking.
5
Place the scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush the tops with the egg yolk. TIP: This will give them a beautiful golden-brown color after baking.
6
Bake the scones in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
7
Let them cool slightly and serve with honey, so the salty and sweet flavors complement each other harmoniously. TIP: Serve with a fresh salad or pickles for the complete experience.
