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
- 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
- 3/4 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that the scones bake evenly and rise beautifully.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Cut in the Butter: Add the cold, diced butter to the flour mixture, and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Incorporate Cheese and Herbs: Gently fold in the crumbled goat’s cheese, chopped dill, and finely chopped onion until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the milk with the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this could lead to tough scones.
- Shape the Scones: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat it into a circle about 1-inch thick. Cut into wedges or use a round cutter to form individual scones.
- Bake: Place the scones on a lined baking sheet and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Your kitchen will smell heavenly!
Notes
- Use Cold Ingredients: Ensure your butter and milk are cold to achieve a flaky texture.
- Don’t Overwork the Dough: Mix until just combined to keep the scones light and tender.
- Experiment with Cheese: Different cheeses can yield various flavors and textures, so feel free to explore.
- Brush with Milk: Brushing the tops with milk before baking gives a lovely golden color.
- Serve Fresh: These scones are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but they can be stored for later.
