Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 Tbsp. sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. Kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup cold butter cubed
  • 3 eggs divided
  • 2/3 cup cold half and half cream
  • 2/3 cup grated sharp cold cheddar
  • 1/4 cup chives cut into small pieces with scissors

Instructions

  • Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add in the cubed butter and cut in with a pastry cutter until the size of peas.
  • Mix the two eggs and cream together in a small bowl and add to the flour mixture. Don't overmix.
  • Stir in the cheddar and chives and mix until just incorporated.
  • Turn the dough onto a well floured cool or cold surface if possible. Knead about 4 times gently and work into a round about 3/4" to an 1" thick. Cut out into 2 1/2" rounds. Place on lightly greased cookie sheets.
  • You can rework the dough and make more but they won't turn out as great as the first ones do but still very good.
  • Whisk the final egg in a small bowl and brush on top of the scones. Let them rest for 10 min. Preheat oven to 375F.
  • Bake for 18-20 min. or until golden brown.
