In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt, then rub in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Crumble the feta cheese into the mixture and combine well.
4
Add the sour cream, egg, and activated yeast, then knead the dough thoroughly until it comes together.
5
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about ¾ inch (2 cm) thickness, then fold it three times to create layers.
6
Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 30 minutes to rise.
7
Roll out the dough again to about ¾ inch (2 cm) thickness, then use a scone cutter to cut out the shapes.
8
Place the scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and brush the tops with beaten egg.

Sprinkle the tops with grated feta cheese, then bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
