Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup Spent Grain, dried
• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
• 1 1/4 cup (6 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, stir together flour, spent grain, baking powder, sugar, and salt. With a pastry blender (or using two knives), cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in the cheese to combine.

3. In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg. Add it to your dry ingredients, stirring just until the dough comes together.

4. Turn the dough out onto a clean surface and gently flatten into an 8-inch round. Use a knife to cut the circle into eight triangles. Transfer scones onto the sheet pan and bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Serve hot and with butter!
