Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, sea salt, black pepper, and mustard powder
Grate the ice-cold grass-fed butter into the flour mixture or cut it into small cubes, then mix until it resembles coarse crumbs
Gently fold in the grated sharp cheddar until evenly distributed
In a separate bowl, beat the egg with the almond milk and honey or maple syrup
Combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing until a shaggy dough forms without overworking it
Lightly dust a surface with gluten-free flour, turn out the dough, and pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut into 8 wedges
Place the wedges on the baking sheet and brush the tops with extra milk or an egg wash
Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden brown on top and firm to the touch
Allow the scones to cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before serving

Notes

For a dairy-free version, substitute the grass-fed butter with chilled coconut oil or a high-quality vegan butter and use vegan cheese.
