Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 170 gr Unsalted Butter
- 3/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- 1/4 cup fresh chives finely chopped
- 1 cup buttermilk cold
- 1 tablespoon buttermilk for brushing
- Sea salt for topping
Instructions
Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add Cheese and Chives:
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives until evenly distributed.
Add Buttermilk:
- Pour in the 1 cup of cold buttermilk. Use a fork or your hands to gently mix the dough until it just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Form the Dough:
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick.
Cut the Scones:
- Use a sharp knife or a bench scraper to cut the circle into 8 wedges (like a pizza). Alternatively, you can use a round biscuit cutter to cut out individual scones.
Prepare for Baking:
- Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the 1 tablespoon of buttermilk and sprinkle a little sea salt over each scone.
Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on top.
Cool and Serve:
- Allow the scones to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
These savory scones are perfect for breakfast or as a side dish with soups and salads. Enjoy!
Notes
- Ensure the buttermilk is cold to achieve the best texture.
- Feel free to substitute the cheddar with your favorite cheese.
- For a spicier twist, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the dry ingredients.Did your make this Recipe? Tag @kooben_blog on Instagram and use #kooben_blog. I would love to see your creations.
