Amount / Quantity	Ingredients
1	Egg
1/2 cup	Milk
1 cup	All-purpose flour
1/2 cup	Bread flour (optional – can use all purpose flour)
1 tablespoon	Baking powder
1 teaspoon	Salt
1 (7 oz.) package	Jones Dairy Farm All Natural Golden Brown Pork Sausage Links, cooked & crumbled
1 cup	Sharp white cheddar cheese, grated
5 tablespoons	cold butter, cut into small pieces
Maple butter:
1/2 stick	Unsalted butter, softened
3 tablespoons	Maple syrup

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder.
Using a pastry cutter, a fork, or your hands, mix the butter into the flour mixture, working quickly so the butter doesn’t melt.
Whisk the egg into the milk, then add to the flour mixture with the crumbled sausage and shredded cheese. OPTIONAL – reserve a few bits of cheddar and sausage to top each scone before baking.
Combine until a shaggy dough forms, then pour out onto the counter. Form a dough round with your hands, using an extra sprinkle of flour if things get messy.
Cut the dough into 8 even triangles, and transfer to a baking sheet.
Preheat the oven to 400F. While it heats, chill the scones in the freezer for 15 minutes.
If you saved any cheddar and sausage bits, top each scone with a small amount. Bake for 15 minutes, until golden brown.
Serve with maple butter and enjoy! Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
