For a richer flavor, use extra sharp Cheddar cheese. Brush the tops of the scones with melted butter or an egg wash before baking for a golden, glossy finish. Serve warm with butter, jam, or honey for a delightful treat. These scones are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (5 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda until well combined. Gently fold in the shredded Cheddar cheese, ensuring it's evenly distributed. (5 minutes)
03
Step
3 mins
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, canola oil, milk, and eggs until smooth. (3 minutes)
04
Step
2 mins
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix; a few streaks of flour are perfectly fine. (2 minutes)
05
Step
5 mins
Lightly flour a clean surface. Turn the dough out onto the floured surface and gently knead 10 to 12 times to bring it together into a cohesive mass. Pat the dough out to a thickness of approximately 3/4 inch. (5 minutes)
06
Step
5 mins
Using a 3-inch square cutter or a round cookie cutter, cut out the scones. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one. (5 minutes)
07
Step
20 mins
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the scones are light golden brown and have risen nicely. (20 minutes)
08
Step
10 mins
Remove from the oven and let the scones cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)
