Cheddar Dill Scones
- 4 cups all purpose flour plus a little extra for rolling
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 3/4 pound unsalted butter cold, diced
- 4 extra large eggs beaten lightly
- 1 cup heavy cream cold
- 1/2 pound extra sharp yellow cheddar roughly 4 cups, small-diced
- 1 cup fresh dill minced
- 1 tablespoon egg beaten with 1 milk, for egg wash
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In an electric mixer with the paddle attachment, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter and mix on low until the butter is in little pea-sized pieces. In a separate bowl, mix the eggs and heavy cream, then add them to the flour mixture. Combine until just blended. Toss together the Cheddar, dill, and 1 tablespoon of flour, then add them to the dough. Mix until they are almost incorporated.
- Dump the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead until the Cheddar and dill are well distributed (about 1 minute). Roll the dough until 3/4-inch thick. Cut into 4-inch squares and then in half diagonally to make triangles. Brush the tops with the egg wash.
- Line a baking sheet with Silpat baking mat or parchment paper. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the outside is crusty and the inside is fully baked.
