Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 1/2 cups | all-purpose flour |
| 1/4 cup | fresh parsley |
| 1 tablespoon | baking powder |
| 2 teaspoons | dried dill weed |
| 1/2 teaspoon | salt |
| 3/4 cup | butter, cubed |
| 5 ounces | cheddar cheese, grated |
| 1/2 cup | sour cream |
| 1/4 cup | milk |
| 2 | eggs |
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, fresh parsley, baking powder, dried dill weed, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
-
Incorporate Butter: Add the cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Add Cheese: Stir in 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
-
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, milk, and eggs until well combined.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently mix until just moistened. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough scones.
-
Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough for about 1 minute until it becomes smooth and cohesive.
-
Shape the Scones: Divide the dough in half. With a rolling pin, roll out each half into an 8-inch circle, about 1/2 inch thick.
-
Cut into Wedges: Using a sharp knife or a pastry cutter, divide each circle into 8 wedges.
-
Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the scone wedges 1 inch apart onto an ungreased baking sheet, ensuring they have enough room to expand while baking.
-
Sprinkle with Cheese: Sprinkle each scone wedge with about 1 teaspoon of the remaining grated cheddar cheese, adding an extra layer of cheesy goodness.
-
Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake the scones for 13 to 18 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown on top and cooked through.
-
Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy these Cheese’n Dill Scones warm with a pat of butter or your favorite accompaniment.
