Cheddar Dinner Scones
Yield: 12 Scones

2 c Flour
2 tb Sugar
1 tb Baking powder
1/2 ts Salt
6 tb Butter or margarine; cut in bits
1 lg Egg
3/4 c Milk
1 c Shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 425°. Grease cookie sheet.

Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Blend
in butter with fingers until mixture resembles
fine crumbs.

Lightly beat egg and milk. Stir in, along with
cheese, just until blended.

Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface (dough
will be sticky). Working with half the dough at a
time, pat into a 5" round, about 1" high. Score
dough to mark 6 wedges, but do not separate.

Bake 20-25 minutes until golden. Serve warm or
cool on rack.

Makes 12.
