Vermont Recipes | Cheddar Chive Scones | Klinger's Bread Company

Ingredients

• 10 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp + 2 tsp salt
• ¼ cup + 1 tbsp baking powder
• 3 tbsp + 1 tsp granulated sugar
• 10 oz butter (cut into small pieces)
• 1 lb shredded cheddar cheese
• 3 oz chopped chives
• 2.5 tsp black pepper
• 5 cups Monument Farms Heavy Cream
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Combine all ingredients except for heavy cream in a mixer bowl (with paddle attachment).
• Mix on first speed until mixture is coarse like sand (butter should be pea size or smaller).
• Gradually add heavy cream until just combined. Be careful to not over mix the dough. If the mixture seems dry, add more cream.
• Bring dough together into a uniform ball shape and flatten onto a floured table . Roll out to 3/4" thickness.
• Cut out scones by using a 2.5" round biscuit cutter. When the first batch of scones is cut, you can re-roll the dough to minimize waste.
• Bake scones for approx. 20 minutes, until golden brown on edges. For a nicer look, you can egg wash the tops prior to baking.
