Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1 large egg
3/4 cup milk
Instructions:
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
Cut in Butter:
Add the cold butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add Cheese and Herbs:
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped parsley, and chopped green onions until evenly distributed.
Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and stir until just combined. The dough will be sticky.
Shape the Dough:
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead it gently a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a circle about 1-inch thick.
Cut into Wedges:
Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 wedges. Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Serve:
Let the scones cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm, and enjoy your cheesy herb scones!
These scones are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a savory snack. Enjoy!
