| 1. | Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. |
| 2. | In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. |
| 3. | Add the chilled and cubed butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. |
| 4. | Stir in the grated cheddar cheese and finely chopped fresh herbs, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. |
| 5. | Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk. Use a fork to gently mix the milk into the flour mixture until just combined and a soft dough forms. |
| 6. | Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it holds together. |
| 7. | Pat the dough into a circle about 3/4 inch (2 cm) thick and use a floured biscuit cutter to cut out scones. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each. |
| 8. | Brush the tops of the scones with the beaten egg to create a golden finish. You can also top with more cheese, roasted sesame seeds or sea salt for a nice twist. |
| 9. | Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and baked through. |
| 10. | Remove the scones from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving. |
| 11. | Serve the Cheese and Herb Scones warm with butter or alongside your favourite savoury spreads or soups. |
