...well, I didn't, but I made the whole thing!
So, I made some Cheddar and Chive scones this morning and brought them in to church. They were a big hit! I was surprised, especially since I didn't think I would like them!!! Anyway, thanks Whole Foods, for such a good recipe. So, without further ado...
Cheddar and Chive Scones (courtesy of Whole Foods)
Makes 12
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk (plus 2 tablespoons for brushing over scones)
2 TB finely chopped fresh chives
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 TB baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
6 TB cold unsalted butter
11/2 cups grated sharp or aged cheddar
Preheat oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup milk and egg until blended. Stir in chives and set aside. Blend flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper in food processor or large bowl. Add cold butter and pulse, or quickly blend with your fingertips, until mixture resembles coarse meal. Do Not Overmix. Toss in 1 cup of the grated cheese until well blended. Add milk mixture and process just until moist clumps begin to form.
Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a ball. Cut dough ball in half, then flatten each half into an 8-inch (1/2-inch thick) circle. Cut each circle into 6 wedges. Brush with milk and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup of cheese. Place on a nonstick baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
