Ingredients  

  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, chilled and chopped into cubes
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup packed fresh spinach, finely chopped
  • 6-8 chives, chopped (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Whisk the first four ingredients together in a large bowl.
  • Add the butter to the flour mixture and mix with either your fingertips, a pastry blender, or two knives until it forms the texture of coarse meal.
  • Add the milk, chives, spinach and cheese and mix gently until just incorporated (the dough may look a bit dry, but allow it to sit for a few minutes and the flour will soak up all the milk).
  • Place dough on a lightly floured surface and gently press into an 8 x 8 inch square.
  • Cut the dough into 9 even squares.
  • Place scones on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Move immediately to a wire cooling rack.
