SERIOUSLY STRONG SCOTTISH CHEESE SCONES
SOURCE: www.IGOURMET.COM I have made these several times now and they are wonderful. Even though Mull of Kintyre is called for in preference, I prefer the Seriously Strong cheddar. Baking time is approx. watch until golden.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Sift the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt into a large bowl. Cut in butter using a pastry blender or rubbing between your fingers until it is in pea sized lumps. Stir in the currants. Mix together 1/2 cup milk and sour cream in a measuring cup. Pour all at once into the dry ingredients, and stir gently until well blended. Overworking the dough results in terrible scones!
- With floured hands, pat scone dough into balls 2 to 3 inches across, depending on what size you want. Place onto a greased baking sheet, and flatten lightly. Let the scones barely touch each other. Whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of milk. Brush the tops of the scones with the egg wash. Let them rest for about 10 minutes.
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until the tops are golden brown, not deep brown. Break each scone apart, or slice in half. Serve with butter or clotted cream and a selection of jams - or even plain.

Tips:
- Use good quality, strong cheddar cheese for a flavorful scone.
- Make sure the butter is cold and grated before adding it to the flour mixture. This will help create a light and flaky scone.
- Do not overwork the dough. Overworking will make the scones tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the scones hold their shape.
- Bake the scones in a hot oven. This will help them rise quickly and create a crispy exterior.
- Serve the scones warm with butter, jam, or your favorite topping.
