Cheese and chive scones are a savory and delightful twist on the traditional scone. Perfect for afternoon tea, brunch, or a snack, these scones are packed with flavors from cheddar cheese and fresh chives. Their golden exterior and fluffy interior make them an irresistible treat that is both easy and quick to prepare.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, sugar, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
Stir in the chopped chives, spice mix, and shredded cheddar cheese. Make sure the ingredients are well distributed throughout the flour mixture.
Gradually add enough water to the dry ingredients to form a soft dough. Start with a small amount of water and add more as needed until the dough comes together and is slightly sticky but manageable.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough a few times to ensure it is well mixed. Flatten the dough to about ¾-inch thickness.
Use a round cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out scones from the dough. Place each scone onto the prepared baking sheet. Gather any remaining dough, reshape, and continue cutting until all the dough is used.
Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips:
- For added flavor, you can sprinkle a bit of extra cheese on top of the scones before baking.
- Make sure your ingredients are cold, especially the cheese, to get a better rise on your scones.
- Avoid overmixing the dough to ensure that your scones are light and fluffy rather than dense.
- You can substitute other herbs like parsley or thyme if you don't have chives on hand.
