Cheddar Chive Scones

How did you ever have brunch without these cheddar chive scones?! Rich, crumbly layers, tons of cheddar, and flecked with salt.

These cheddar cheese scones are the wise choice if your looking for a recipe that is worth every stretchy strand of gluten because they are insanely good.

INGREDIENTS

– All-purpose flour – Baking powder – Kosher salt – Cheddar cheese – Chives – Heavy cream – Flaky sea salt

I love the taste and texture of a flaky sea salt, but you can use your favorite. Think fleur de sel, pink himalayan, sel gris, or smoked sea salt.

Don’t over-mix or knead the dough too long. Give it a couple turns until it comes together nicely on a light floured board and then form into a disc.

No need to chill this dough, simply divide into wedges, brush with cream, and sprinkle with salt and cheese for extra flavor and texture.

Pick a good, flaky salt to finish. The salt really brings out the flavor in these scones and gives a little crunch to the top.
