- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt

How to make Smoked Gouda & Thyme Scones
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Cut 8 tablespoons of cold unsalted butter into small cubes. Add the butter to the dry ingredients and cut it in using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter still visible.
- Stir in 1 cup of shredded smoked Gouda cheese and 1.5 tablespoons of fresh thyme leaves until evenly distributed.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup of heavy cream and 1 large egg until combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a fork or spatula until just combined and a shaggy dough forms; avoid overmixing.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it 3-4 times just until it comes together into a cohesive ball. Pat the dough into an 8-inch round disc, about 1-inch thick.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 equal wedges. Arrange the wedges on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small space between each.
- For the egg wash, whisk 1 large egg with 1 tablespoon of water or milk. Brush the tops of the scones evenly with the egg wash.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving warm. These savory scones are delicious on their own or with a dollop of crème fraîche.
