Savoury Scones Recipe

Introduction

Ingredients

• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon of baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
• 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
• 1/2 cup of grated cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup of chopped fresh chives
• 2/3 cup of milk
• 1 egg, beaten

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. Add the chilled butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter, fork or your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
4. Add the grated cheddar cheese and chopped chives to the flour mixture and stir to combine.
5. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the milk. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to mix the dough until it comes together.
6. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently for a few seconds until it forms a smooth ball.
7. Pat the dough into a circle that is about 1-inch thick.
8. Use a sharp knife or a biscuit cutter to cut the dough into 8-10 scones.
9. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with the beaten egg.
10. Bake the scones for about 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
11. Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
