Delicious and flaky. Can be used for bread at a meal. They are sooo good. Ingredients:
2 large eggs |
1/2 cup milk (plus 2 tablespoons for brushing over scones) |
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives |
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper |
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) cold unsalted butter |
1 1/2 cups grated sharp or aged cheddar |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup milk and egg until blended. Stir in chives and set aside. Blend flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper in food processor or large bowl. Add cold butter and pulse, or quickly blend with your fingertips, until mixture resembles coarse meal. Do Not Overmix. Toss in 1 cup of the grated cheese until well blended. Add milk mixture and process just until moist clumps begin to form.
2. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a ball. Cut dough ball in half, then flatten each half into an 8-inch (1/2-inch thick) circle. Cut each circle into 6 wedges. Brush with milk and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup of cheese. Place on a nonstick baking sheet.
