Yield 16 scones

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 3/4 ounces sharp reduced-sodium Cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup chopped fresh dill
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/4 ounces old-fashioned oats
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons margarine, chilled in freezer for 1 hour, cut into pieces
1 large egg, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons evaporated skimmed milk

Steps:

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine the cheese and dill. Set aside. 2. In a food processor, process the flour, oats, baking powder, and salt to combine. Add the margarine and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal. 3 Add the flour mixture to the cheese mixture and stir to combine. Add the egg and milk, and mix until just combined. 4. Spray a 12-inch square of waxed paper and a spatula with nonstick cooking spray. Mound the dough on the paper, then, using the prepared spatula, spread the dough into an even 8-inch square. Cut into sixteen 2-inch squares. 5. With the spatula, carefully place the scones 1 inch apart on a nonstick baking sheet. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, until lightly browned on top.
