Ingredients
To make a batch of cheese and herb scones, you'll need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (such as chives, parsley, or thyme)
- 1/2 cup milk
Instructions
To get started, preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Next, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Cut the butter into small cubes and add to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry blender or forks, blend the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the cheese and herbs and then slowly add the milk until a soft dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times until it comes together. Roll the dough out to about a 1/2-inch thickness.
Using a 3-inch biscuit cutter or a drinking glass, cut out circles of dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently reshape any scraps of dough and cut out more circles until all the dough is used. Bake the scones for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Let the scones cool before serving.
