How to make cheese scones

• In a large bowl, place the wheat flour, add baking powder and salt.
  345 g wheat flour - all-purpose, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt
  
• Add very cold butter cut into small pieces.
  113 g butter
  
• Briefly chop the ingredients together - preferably with a knife, or a special tool for kneading shortcrust pastry - you can also briefly mix them with a food processor. The dough should be lumpy, with butter pieces coated in flour.
  
• Add cold buttermilk in portions, kneading the dough - now you can start kneading the dough with your hands.
  225 g buttermilk
  
• Add grated yellow cheese and knead the dough. Initially, the cheese will be quite difficult to combine with the rest of the dough, but the longer you knead, the more it will incorporate into the dough.
  approx 200 g cheese
  
• Remove the dough to a countertop to more easily knead it into a uniform ball, and knead until all the cheese is combined with the dough and you get a uniform dough.
  
• Lightly dust the countertop with flour and roll out the dough with a rolling pin into a fairly thin flatbread - about 1 cm thick.
  
• Fold one side of the dough inwards (like a sheet of paper). See the photo or the video attached to the recipe to see how to properly fold the dough.
  
• Fold the other side of the dough inwards, so that it overlaps the previously folded dough.
  
• Roll out the dough into a flatbread again and fold it the same way as before.
  
• Roll out the dough a third time and fold as before.
• Roll out the dough to a size of about 17/25 cm and wrap it in cling film. Put the dough in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to cool slightly.
  
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 220 degrees - top/bottom mode.
• Unwrap the chilled dough from the film and place it on a large baking sheet lined with baking paper. Cut the dough with a sharp knife into 10 buns - I first cut the dough lengthwise in half, and then cut these two strips into buns. Slightly separate them to allow space for rising during baking.
  
• Brush the tops of the buns with milk using a silicone brush.
  
• If desired, sprinkle them with additional grated cheese on top.
• Bake the buns for about 15-20 minutes - until nicely browned.
• After baking, let them cool slightly and serve warm. These buns taste great on their own, but spread with melting butter, they are even more delicious!
