Scones
When I first starting making scones a few years back now already, was roughly around the same time I was bitten by the Pinterest bug. I searched high and low for scone recipes that looked good. Did I find the recipes!! The majority of the scone recipes I first made were on the sweeter side but as time went by and the more scones I tried and therefore consumed, I started to really like savory scones as much as or not more than sweet. Don’t get me wrong, sweet scones are super but there is nothing better than dunking a savory scone into a steamy bowl of soup:)

This recipe is from the blog Farmgirl Fare. A fantastic blog I came across when I first started blogging almost 4 years ago. Check out Susan’s blog and check out her mouth-watering recipes.

Savory Herb Goat Cheese, Cheddar and Scallion Scones
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 ounces herb goat cheese, room temperature
- 4 ounces shredded white cheddar cheese
- 4 scallions green and white parts, chopped
- 1 cup whole milk or half and half
- 1 large large egg
- 1 egg, for wash
- 2 tablespoons milk or half and half, for wash
Instructions
- Beat 1 egg and 2 tablespoons of milk (or half and half) well with a fork. Set aside.
- Heat oven to 400 degrees.
- Combine 2 1/2 cups of the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add the cheeses and toss gently with a fork until combined. Add the scallions and toss gently with a fork until combined.
- Beat the milk (or half and half) with the egg and gently fold it into the dry ingredients, mixing lightly until a soft dough forms. Add up to 1/2 cup additional flour, if the dough is too sticky.
- On a floured surface, gently pat the dough into a circle approximately 1-inch thick (or into two smaller circles for 12 scones) The key to tender scones is to handle the dough as little as possible and with a light touch. Cut the circle(s)into 8 or 12 wedges and place them on a heavy duty baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the tops and sides of the scones with the egg wash. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or cool completely and refrigerate or freeze in a heavy zipper bag or airtight container.
