Cheddar Chive Scones Recipe | Delicious Fall Comfort Foods
Indulge in the delicious flavors of fall with these savory Cheddar Chive Scones. Made with a combination of all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt, these scones are light, fluffy, and packed with flavor. The secret to their incredible texture is the addition of cold butter, which is incorporated into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. To further enhance the flavor, wet ingredients such as half and half cream and eggs are added to the mixture, along with sharp cheddar cheese and chives. The dough is then formed into triangular scones and placed in the freezer for a short period of time to chill. Brushed with milk and baked until golden brown, these scones are perfect on their own or paired with homemade tomato soup.
