Total Time:
45m
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 stick unsalted butter, chilled and cut into a 1/4-inch dice
- 2/3 cup heavy cream, plus 1 tablespoon for brushing
- 1 cup (about 4 ounces) grated Cheddar
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
Directions
- Heat oven to 425° F.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives held crisscross fashion, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in 2/3 cup of the cream. Add the Cheddar and chives and use your hands to combine; the dough should be crumbly. Knead the dough a couple of times until it comes together.
- Gently pat it into a ball, then flatten slightly into a 1-inch-thick disk. Transfer to a baking sheet. Slice into quarters, then cut each quarter in half. Brush the top with the remaining cream. Bake for about 30 minutes or until golden.
Quick Tip
For a hearty sandwich, split a scone in half, spread it with mustard, and fill it with leftover turkey or ham.

FRESH PICK
Turnips
Although the turnip has been grown for more than 4,000 years and was one of the first foods to be cultivated in Europe, it
is currently underappreciated: It keeps well, takes to almost any cooking method, and has a subtly flavored, tasty flesh.
