Cheese and Chive Savoury Scones
A beautiful, butter, cheesy scone. These cheese and chive savoury scones are perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 3 ½ cups self raising flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 65/2.2 g/oz butter cubed
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 3 tablespoon fresh chives
- ⅓ cup parmesan cheese finely grated
- ⅓ cup cheddar cheese finely grated
- extra cheese and milk for top
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200C/400F
- Line your large baking tray with parchment paper.
- Add the flour, salt, pepper and sugar to a large bowl and stir.
- Add the cubed butter, and use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs. This should take around 8-10 minutes.
- Make a well in the centre of the flour, then add in the milk, cheese and chives.
- Use a knife to 'cut' the mixture, combining it together well.
- Dust a clean surface with flour, then turn out the dough to knead. Continue to add flour if the dough gets too sticky.
- Shape the dough into a disc measuring a height of 4cm/2 inches. Dip your mason jar or cookie cutter into flour, then cut out round discs of dough.
- Place the dough discs in your prepared baking tray. It doesn't matter if they touch. You should make around 12 scones.
- Place in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, checking every so often to ensure they're cooking evenly.
- Remove from oven and serve immediately with butter.
