Lincolnshire Poacher Cheese Scones are a classic British recipe made with a hard, unpasteurized cow's milk cheese that is similar to Cheddar but has a crumbly texture. This scone recipe is perfect for cheese lovers and can be enjoyed on its own as a snack or as a side to soup. The scones are flaky, flavorful, and perfect with a cup of tea or coffee. Enjoy these warm as a breakfast or brunch dish or serve them as a snack when entertaining guests.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F).
2.	In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3.	Add the softened butter and use your fingers to rub it into the dry ingredients, until the mixture is crumbly.
4.	Beat the eggs in a separate bowl, then add them to the dry mixture.
5.	Add the milk and grated Lincolnshire Poacher cheese to the bowl, and use a spatula to mix everything together until just combined.
6.	Flour a clean surface and turn the dough out. Kneed for a minute, then roll it out to about 3cm thick. Use a pastry cutter to cut out the scones.
7.	Place the scones on a lightly greased baking sheet. Brush the top of each scone with egg-wash.
8.	Bake for 12-15 minutes until the scones rise and the surfaces are golden. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
