Cheese Dill Scones

By eliorakiah

Prep and Cook Time: 45 minutes. Notes: These scones are best the day they're made, but freeze well, wrapped in 2 layers of plastic wrap. Unwrap and bake frozen at 350° until warm, 10 minutes.

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons dry mustard
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into bits
• 1 cup (4 oz.) shredded extra-sharp cheddar
• 1/4 cup (2 oz.) shredded parmesan
• 1/4 cup chopped chives
• 1/4 cup chopped dill
• 1/2 cup low-fat milk

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, combine flour, mustard, baking powder, and salt. With your fingers or a fork, work butter into flour mixture until it resembles cornmeal studded with a few pea-size pieces. Stir in cheeses, chives, and dill.

2. Add milk and stir to combine. Transfer dough to a floured surface and gently knead 2 or 3 times until it comes together. Pat into a 1-in.-thick disk and cut into 8 triangles. Arrange triangles about 2 in. apart on a baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and cooked through, 20 minutes.
