Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and cut it in until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the shredded cheese and fresh herbs gently to combine.
Pour in buttermilk and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently a couple of times.
Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick and cut into wedges or use a biscuit cutter.
Place shaped scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.
