Preparation: 15 minutes
Cooking: 20 minutes
Total: 35 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 egg, beaten (for glazing)
  • Pickles, cheese, and ham for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

  3. Add the cold butter to the flour mixture and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to rub it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.

  4. Stir in the grated cheddar cheese, chopped parsley, and green onions.

  5. Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Mix until just combined.

  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together.

  7. Roll the dough out into a 1-inch thickness and use a round biscuit cutter to cut out scones.

  8. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, brush the tops with the beaten egg, and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

  9. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving with pickles, cheese, and ham.
