Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • 3/4 cup cold milk
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives.
  5. Make a well in the center and pour in the cold milk. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 3/4-inch thick round.
  7. Cut the dough into 8 wedges using a sharp knife or bench scraper.
  8. Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Brush the tops with the beaten egg wash.
  10. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
  11. Let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flaky scones, ensure your butter and milk are very cold.
  • You can add a pinch of garlic powder for an extra flavor boost.
  • These scones are best served warm.
