Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ stick Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoon Fresh chives, chopped
• ¹⁄₂ cup Milk
• 2 clove Garlic cloves, minced
• 4 tablespoon Unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Stir in the grated cheddar cheese and chopped fresh chives.
5. Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk. Stir until just combined.
6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together.
7. Pat the dough into a circle about 1-inch thick. Use a round biscuit cutter to cut out scones and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
8. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the scones are golden brown.
9. While the scones are baking, make the garlic butter by combining the minced garlic and melted unsalted butter.
10. Remove the scones from the oven and brush the tops with the garlic butter.
11. Serve warm and enjoy!
