Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 1/4 cup fresh chives, chopped
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- 1Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 2In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
- 3Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- 4Stir in the grated cheddar cheese and chopped chives until evenly distributed.
- 5Make a well in the center and pour in the milk. Stir gently until the dough comes together, being careful not to overmix.
- 6Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and press it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
- 7Using a sharp knife or a bench scraper, cut the dough into squares or wedges, depending on your preference.
- 8Place the scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
- 9Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and have risen nicely.
- 10Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
