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, combine the flour and salt, then rub in the butter until it resembles breadcrumbs.
3
Add the sheep cheese, sour cream, egg, and the activated yeast mixture. Knead well to form a dough.
4
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about ¾ inch (2 cm) thickness. Fold the dough in thirds three times to create layers.
5
Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 30 minutes to rise slightly.
6
Roll out the dough again to about ¾ inch (2 cm) thickness. Use a scone cutter to cut out the scones.

Place the scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and brush the tops with beaten egg.

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