Cheese and Chive Scones
Posted On 16 May 2022
My wife found and made a similar recipe. We made some adjustments and substitutions along the way….
Cheese and Chive Scones
Ingredients
- 325 grams all purpose flour
- 15 grams baking powder
- 2 grams salt
- 55 grams butter, cold and cubed
- 225 grams sharp cheddar cheese, grated kinda thick
- 20 grams chives, minced
- 2 eggs
- 250 ml plain yogurt
- ½ tsp mustard
Instructions
- Heat oven to 375°F / 200°C
- Line 1 or 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix in the butter with your fingers or a pastry knife until incorporated.
- Add the cheese and mix well.
- In a separate bowl whisk together the yogurt, eggs, and mustard.
- Make a well in the flour and cheese mixture and pour in the egg mixture. Blend with a pastry knife until you've got a good dough.
- Pull off some dough and mix into equal, round, rough balls on your baking tray. My wife got 14 good sized scones. Size of the balls was maybe like the size of a racquetball or a lacrosse ball.
- Bake for 20 minutes, turning half-way through, until a toothpick stabbed in comes out clean.
- Serve warm or cooled with butter, jam, or chutney.
Notes
- If you have self-rising flour, use 340 grams of that. The above is creating self-rising flour.
