Total Time:
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 cup shredded Gruyere or Swiss cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon hot pepper flakes
- 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
Directions
- Heat oven to 400° F. Lightly coat a baking sheet with vegetable cooking spray.
- In a food processor, combine the flour, baking powder, and butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Transfer to a large bowl and add the 2 cheeses, thyme, hot pepper flakes, and buttermilk. Stir until the mixture sticks together. (It will be slightly crumbly.)
- Transfer the dough to a work surface and knead gently until it comes together, about 30 seconds. Shape the dough to form an even, flat round about 1 inch thick. Cut the dough into 12 wedges. Place them about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
- Bake until the scones are light golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove with a metal spatula. These are best served fresh but
can be made up to 2 days ahead. Wrap in foil and reheat in a 250° F oven for 10 minutes. Store in an airtight container.

Quick Tip
Use a vegetable peeler to create fancy curls of cheese. It's an elegant presentation, and the flavor is more intense than
that of shredded cheese.

FRESH PICK
Cranberries
High in vitamin C, these hard, tart berries are grown in bogs in colder regions of North America and Europe. They’re almost
always eaten cooked, as in the classic Thanksgiving relish.
