Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 cup green onions (thinly sliced)
- 0.75 cup heavy cream
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gently stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and sliced green onions, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Pour in the heavy cream and use a wooden spoon or spatula to mix until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a round disc about 1 inch thick.
Using a sharp knife or dough cutter, cut the disc into 8 equal wedges and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make the egg wash. Brush the top of each scone with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
