Cheddar Cheese Scones Recipe
One bite of these scones and you'll realize that scones are not something that only go with tea or coffee. They are awesome with my Irish Stew recipe. Try them together!
Ingredients
- 2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 10 Tbsp unsalted butter, cold, cubed
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/3 cup minced chives
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 Tbsp water
- 1 egg blended with 1 Tbsp water
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl. Cut in butter with a blender or fork until bean sized.
- Stir in cheddar cheese and chives, add buttermilk and 2 Tbsp water. Knead gently until blended. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board and pat into an 8 inch square. Cut into 2 inch squares, then cut diagonally into triangles. Arrange on a baking sheet spacing approx. 1 inch apart.
- Brush tops with egg-water mix and bake until golden--about 25 minutes.
