Ingredients

Scale

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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Add Cheese and Vegetables

    Gently fold in the crumbled goat’s cheese, chopped dill, and finely diced onion until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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!
