Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.75 cup crumbled goat cheese
- 0.5 cup green onions, finely chopped
- 0.75 cup buttermilk, cold
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream (optional, for brushing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until combined.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gently fold in the crumbled goat cheese and chopped green onions, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg until thoroughly combined.
Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, gently mix until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a round disk about 1 inch thick.
Using a sharp knife or a bench scraper, cut the disk into 8 equal wedges. Place the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
If desired, brush the tops of the scones with heavy cream to promote a golden, crisp finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on the edges and the tops are firm to the touch.
Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm.
