Bobotie and Cheddar Cheese Scones

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and Bobotie spice mix.

Add the cold butter cubes to the flour mixture. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.

Gradually add the milk, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly shaggy.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick.

Using a sharp knife or biscuit cutter, cut the dough into 6 wedges or rounds.

Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet.

If desired, whisk the egg with a tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the scones with the egg wash. This will give them a nice golden color.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.
