2.5 cup All Purpose Flour
2.5 tablespoon Sugar
2 tablespoon Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Baking Soda

1/4 teaspoon Pepper
5 ounce Butter (cold, cubed)

Steps:

Mix all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and ground pepper in a large bowl.
Toss cold, cubed butter into dry mix. Using a pastry cutter or food processor, pulse the butter into the dry mixture until pea-sized and sandy.
Toss dry mix with cheddar cheese (grated or cubed) and freshly chopped basil, parsley, thyme and dill.
Make a well in the center of mix and add plain yogurt. Mix with hands quickly but gently until dough forms a loose ball.
Press dough into an 8-inch circle on lightly floured counter and cut into 8 triangle scones.
Freeze or refrigerate until chilled.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and brush each scone with egg wash.
Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden and firm. Cool and serve.
