Green Onion and Scallion Cheddar Scones

These were a nice savoury treat for brunch, which is a change from the sweetness of my typically baked goods. 

Here's what you'll need:

2 cups of AP Flour

1/2 tsp salt

1 Tbsp baking powder

1 Tbsp sugar

6 Tbsp cold salted butter, cut into pieces 

2 large eggs

1/3 cup sour cream

1 tsp mustard

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese

4 scallions, finely chopped

3 Tbsp green onion, finely chopped

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or liberally grease the baking sheet).

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder, then cut the butter into the dry ingredients and rub together with your fingers. 

Next, in a small bowl, mix together the eggs, sour cream, and mustard. 

Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients, and add in the wet ingredients. Stir together. Now, add in the grated cheese, scallions, and green onion and stir together until just combined. This should be the consistency of cookie dough. 

Sprinkle flour over the counter. Pat the dough into a 6 x 9" rectangle, about 1" thick. Cut the rectangle into 6 smaller rectangles, and then cut each small rectangle into two triangles. Altogether, this should form 12 triangular scones. 

Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly browned and an inserted toothpick comes out dry. 

Spread with butter and enjoy!
