Ingredients
For the Scones:
- 2 cups flour
- ½ tsp table salt
- 1 TB baking powder
- 5 TB butter very cold, cut into small pieces
- 1 cup extra-sharp white cheddar cheese freshly-grated and lightly packed
- 2 TB chives freshly chopped
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup heavy cream
- 1 TB Dijon mustard rounded tablespoon
For the Egg Wash:
- 1 egg beaten in a small bowl
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F with rack on lower middle position. Line a large baking sheet with parchment or silicone liner and set aside.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Using clean fingers, work in cold pieces of butter into the dough to make a crumbly mixture. Work in the shredded cheese and chives lightly, just to incorporate.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, and mustard until incorporated. Stir wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring just until dough is fully combined and a bit sticky; don’t over-mix.
- Flour a large board and roll out the dough into approx 20" x 4" rectangle. Cut rectangle into even squares, and then cut each square in half to make triangles. Brush tops with egg wash and sprinkle with a bit of kosher salt on top.
- Place scones on lined baking sheet, 1 inch apart. Bake 13-15 min for smaller scones or 20-23 minutes for larger scones, just until lightly golden brown on top. Serve warm for best results. Can also be stored airtight at room temp for 24 hours.

- Be sure not to overmix the dry and wet ingredients. Just mix until barely combined. It's totally fine if there's still some lumps.
