Preparation Steps
1
Activate the yeast: in the lukewarm milk, stir in the sugar and yeast, then let it stand for 10 minutes until foamy.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt, then rub in the butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3
Add half of the grated cheese and the mustard, then mix with the flour mixture.
4
Add the sour cream, egg, and activated yeast, then knead the dough thoroughly until smooth.
5
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 2 cm (¾ inch) thickness, then fold it in thirds to create layers.
6
Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rest for 30 minutes to allow the dough to rise slightly.
7
Roll out the dough again to about 2 cm (¾ inch) 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.
9
Sprinkle the tops with the remaining grated cheese, then bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
10
Let cool slightly, then serve fresh, with a crispy exterior and a soft, crumbly interior.
