Cheesy, Salty, Savory Scones
These cheesy, salty, savory scones are a flaky, golden dream packed with sharp cheddar, green onions, and just the right amount of seasoning. Perfect for brunch, snacking, or pairing with soups and salads.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3/4 cup whole milk or heavy cream
- 1 egg (optional, for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Keep your lined baking sheet ready for the scone wedges.
- Assemble the Dish: Add the cheese and green onions to the flour mixture. Stir in milk gently until a shaggy dough forms. Pat into a 1-inch thick round and cut into 6–8 wedges.
- Cook to Perfection: Place wedges on the baking sheet. Brush with egg wash if using. Bake for 18–22 minutes until golden brown.
- Finishing Touches: Cool slightly on a wire rack.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm or at room temperature with butter or alongside soup.
Notes
- Use very cold butter and avoid overmixing to keep scones tender.
- Customize with herbs, spices, or different cheeses.
- Freeze unbaked wedges and bake from frozen for fresh scones anytime.
