Cheddar Chive Scones
Scones don't always have to be sweet, fruity and glazed. This recipe is a great introduction to savoury scones. Best enjoyed warm with butter!
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 6 tablespoons cold butter
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 cup cheddar cheese grated
- 1/3 cup fresh chives chopped
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 egg
Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, sift flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.
3. Using your finger tips or a pastry cutter, cut cold butter into the mixture until coarse.
4. Add onion powder, cheddar cheese and chives.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk milk and egg until combined then add to the dry ingredients.
6. With a spatula, fold the mixture together until dough forms. Place the dough onto a floured surface. Gently form a smooth ball. Pat down on the dough until the surface is even and it is about 1.5 inch thick.
7. Use a knife or a scone cutter to cut out scones and place them onto the lined baking sheet. Lightly brush top with milk.
8. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from tray and place on a wire rack.
9. Serve warm with butter and a cup of tea!
