Heart-Shaped Cheese Scones

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded Cheddar cheese
1 egg
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons milk

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda; stir in cheese.

In another bowl, combine egg, sour cream, oil and milk; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Turn onto a floured surface and knead gently 10 to 12 times. Gently pat out to 1/3-inch thickness. Cut with a 3-inch heart-shaped cutter. Place on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 425 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Yields about 1 dozen.
