  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently just until combined. Do not overmix!
  6. Gently fold in the shredded cheese.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick circle.
  8. Use a sharp knife or a biscuit cutter to cut the dough into 8 wedges.
  9. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
