Categories     Scones

Time 40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon dried chives
⅛ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut in small pieces
1 ¼ cups shredded aged Cheddar cheese, divided
½ cup whole milk
¼ cup sour cream
2 tablespoons whole milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
  • Sift flour, baking powder, chives, salt, and cayenne pepper together in a large bowl. Cut in butter using a pastry blender or rubbing between your fingers until flour mixture resembles pea-sized lumps. Stir in 1 cup cheese. Whisk 1/2 cup milk and sour cream together in a measuring cup. Pour all at once into flour mixture, and stir gently until well blended. Avoid overworking the dough.
  • Pat dough into 2- to 3-inch balls, depending on what size you want, using floured hands. Place on the prepared baking sheet and flatten slightly, letting scones barely touch each other. Brush tops with remaining milk. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Let dough rest for about 10 minutes.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tops are golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool slightly; break scones apart before serving.

CHEDDAR CHIVE SCONES



Cheddar Chive Scones image

Cheddar and chives are a great combination in scones. For light, flaky scones, don't mix the butter in too well.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 ounces extra-sharp yellow cheddar cheese, grated
6 tablespoons minced fresh chives
2 cups plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
3 large eggs, beaten lightly, plus 1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water for egg wash
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Cover a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper, and set aside. Place the cheddar cheese, chives, and 1 tablespoon flour in a small bowl, and toss to combine; set mixture aside. In a small bowl, combine the 3 lightly beaten eggs and the cream, and set aside.
  • Using an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine remaining 2 cups flour, baking powder, paprika, and salt. Add butter; mix on low speed until butter is in pea-size pieces, 1 to 2 minutes. Add egg-and cream mixture; mix on low speed until just blended. Add cheese mixture; mix until just combined.
  • Transfer dough to a well-floured surface, and pat into a 9-inch circle. Using a sharp knife dipped in flour, cut circle into 12 wedges. Transfer wedges to prepared baking sheet; brush tops with egg wash. Place in oven; bake, rotating baking sheet halfway through cooking, until outside is crusty and inside is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Tips:

  • Use cold butter: Cold butter will create pockets of steam in the scones as they bake, resulting in a light and fluffy texture.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will develop the gluten and make the scones tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the scones hold their shape and rise evenly.
  • Bake the scones at a high temperature: A high oven temperature will help the scones rise quickly and develop a golden brown crust.
  • Serve the scones warm: Freshly baked scones are best served warm, when they are at their lightest and fluffiest.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins: You can add a variety of mix-ins to your scones, such as cheese, chives, dried fruit, or nuts. Get creative and experiment with different flavors.

Conclusion:

These cheddar chive four-leaf clover scones are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a special breakfast or snack, give these scones a try. You won't be disappointed.
