Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups whole wheat pastry flour or unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons cane sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 10 tablespoons cold butter cubed
  • 3 tablespoons minced chives
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup 45 ml heavy cream, plus more for brushing

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 ̊F. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Add the cold, cubed butter and using your hands, rub the butter into the flour. The end result should be a flour mixture that looks crumbly with pea-sized pieces of flour-coated butter.  
  3. To the butter-flour mixture, add the minced chives and crumbled feta. Stir briefly to combine.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, and heavy cream. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, adding a splash bit more cream if the dough feels dry.
  5. Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and gather into a semi-tight rectangle. Fold like a letter and flatten out again, using a rolling pin, into 1 ½” or so thick rectangle. Continue twice more then flatten once more.
  6. Using a knife or bench scoop, cut into 8 squares or triangles.
  7. Place the scones 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) apart on the baking sheet. Brush with heavy cream. Bake the scones until firm to the touch and golden, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to a rack to cool.

Notes

  • Just remember- don't overwork your dough to keep the butter still in small pieces!
