I did this thing this week. I hate when I do this thing. This thing is like having a million and one tabs open in a browser and then accidentally hitting the ‘X’ button. It’s been one of those weeks. You know the kind of week where you’re crawling, begging and pleading that it could be Friday, so that the most wonderful pair of days in the week could finally be here. Okay, let’s be honest, it was a total d’oh moment. (Insert face palm here). But lets keep this between us? You’re thinking, but it’s only Tuesday, it couldn’t be that bad. There are only a few things that can make this kind of bad, better – tons of dark chocolate and oodles of carbs. Do people even say ‘oodles’ anymore? I think it’s safe to say that after all of that, a pick-me-up is necessary! Let’s talk the beautiful language of carbs and symphony of butter. Let’s make cheddar chive scones Cold butter is combined with flour, baking powder and soda, sugar, salt and some fresh cracked pepper. We’ll add in sour cream later to make them beautifully flakey and golden delicious. Cold butter is broken down into the dry ingredients. I do this with a pastry cutter, though you could do use a potato masher or your hands. Don’t be afraid to get in there.
We’re going to add sour cream, an egg, and a couple of tablespoons of water. Then comes the good part, lots of chives and mountains of mild cheddar cheese. Once it starts to hold, we’re going to turn the mixture out onto a clean work surface.
Almost there. Just need to brush on a little egg wash and sprinkle with a little sea salt and some fresh cracked pepper. We’re minutes away from buttery bliss… Don’t you just want to grab a bunch of cheddar chive scones, maybe one in each hand and shove them in your mouth like no one is watching? I won’t judge, go for it!
