Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup cold butter, diced
- 1 cup goat’s cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
- 1/2 cup sweet onion, finely diced
- 3/4 cup milk
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures your scones bake evenly and achieve that lovely golden color.
-
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well blended, ensuring there are no lumps.
-
Cut in Butter
Add the cold, diced butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Add Cheese and Vegetables
Gently fold in the crumbled goat’s cheese, chopped dill, and finely diced onion until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
-
Combine Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, mix the milk with the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
-
Shape the Scones
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a disk about 1-inch thick and cut out scones using a round cutter. Place them on a lined baking sheet.
-
Bake
Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown on top. Your kitchen will smell divine!
Notes
- Use cold ingredients for flakier scones.
- Don’t overmix to keep the scones tender.
- Experiment with different cheeses for varied flavors.
- Check for doneness; scones should be golden and firm to the touch.
- Serve warm for the best experience!
