Ingredients
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1/2 tsp salt
-
1 tbsp baking powder
-
6 tbsp cold butter or 85 grams, cut into little bits
-
1 cup cheddar cheese grated
-
3 stalks scallions chopped, both white and green parts
-
2 large eggs
-
1/3 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt and baking powder. Add the pieces of cold butter and cut them into the powders using a pastry cutter or rub them into the flour mixture using your fingers. The mixture should turn into a coarse meal with small and medium lumps.
- Mix in the cheese and the scallions to the bowl. Combine the sour cream and eggs. Add them to the bowl and stir everything using a wooden spoon just until the mixture is moistened and a sticky, shaggy dough is formed.
- Turn over the dough in a floured surface. Gather and pat the dough into a rectangle that is 10x2 inches in size. Divide the rectangle into 5 sections to form 5 smaller rectangles, then divide each rectangle in half diagonally to yield a total of 10 triangles.
- Place them on the baking sheet with about an inch of space in between. Bake at 375 for 16-20 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden. Store leftovers in a tightly covered container at room temperature.
