Cheddar, Green Onion, and Yogurt Scones

Servings 6 large scones

Ingredients 

  • 2 ½ cups (320 g) all-purpose flour, plus extra
  • 1 tbsp (12 g) baking powder
  • 1 tsp (6 g) kosher salt
  • 4 tbsp (57 g) cold butter
  • ½ cup (60 g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) chopped green onions
  • 1 cup (250 ml) plain Greek yogurt, *see note
  • ½ cup (125 ml) water
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) cream, milk, or buttermilk, for brushing

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and kosher salt. Stir the dry ingredients together. Grate or cut the cold butter into small cubes and add to the mixing bowl. Crumble the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles small pea-sized pieces. Add the shredded cheese and chopped green onions.
  • In a separate bowl whisk together the yogurt and water until smooth. Add to the dry ingredients and mix until the dough comes together. 
  • Turn the dough out onto the counter. Dust with flour and lightly knead a few times until the dough comes together. Pat into a smooth circle about 1 inch thick. Cut into 6 wedges for large scones or 8 wedges for medium sized scones.
  • Brush the tops of the scones with cream (or buttermilk or milk). Bake for 17 to 20 minutes until golden brown. Slide the parchment from the baking sheet onto a cooling rack or counter. Serve the scones warm with butter and enjoy!

Notes

*This recipe was formulated using a thick Greek style yogurt. If using a different style of yogurt, you may need to adjust the water depending on how thick or thin the yogurt is.
