Ingredients

    2 Cups Flour
    1 Tbsp Baking Powder
    1/2 tsp Salt
    1 tsp Paprika
    4 Tbsp Butter
    2/3 Cup Milk
    1 1/4 C Shredded Sharp Cheddar

Directions

Pre-heat the oven to 400 F.

Mix dry ingredients together and cut in butter until butter pieces are pea-sized or slightly smaller.

Mix in about 1 cup of the shredded cheese and distribute evenly through out the flour mixture.

Make a well in the middle of the mixture and add the milk. Mix quickly. The dough will form a very ragged mass and there may be some bits of dry ingredients still at the bottom of the bowl. This is perfect as you don't want a too sticky dough.

Turn out the dough onto a piece of baking parchment and scrape any dry bits onto the top of the dough. Press the dough into a flat rectangle about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Sprinkle a few drops of milk and scatter the remaining shredded cheese on top of the dough and press gently into the top to adhere the loose cheese.

Using a large knife cut the scone into 8 pieces, but do not separate them from one another. They produce a very tender bread when baked as one loaf.

Transfer the parchment to a baking sheet or baking stone and bake 18 minutes.

Serve hot!
