Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 cup grated Dubliner cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in the grated Dubliner cheese and chopped chives.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together.
  7. Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. Use a sharp knife to cut the circle into 12 wedges.
  8. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Transfer the scones to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
