Spinach & Cheddar Scones

Spinach & Cheddar Scones

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Flourish Flour
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 Tsp salt
  • 2 1/2 Tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, frozen
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream of buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup finely chopped spinach
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Whisk flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder together in a large bowl. Grate the frozen butter using a box grater. Add it to the flour mixture and combine with your fingers until the mixture comes together in pea-sized crumbs. Place in the refrigerator or freezer as you mix the wet ingredients together.
  2. Whisk 1/2 cup heavy cream, the egg, and vanilla extract together in a small bowl. Drizzle over the flour mixture, add the add-ins, then mix together until everything appears moistened.
  3. Place dough onto the counter and, with floured hands, work dough into a ball as best you can. Dough will be sticky. If it’s too sticky, add a little more flour. If it seems too dry, add 1-2 more Tablespoons heavy cream. Press into an 8-inch disc and, with a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut into 8 wedges
  4. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place scones on a plate or lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  5. Bake for 18-26 minutes or until golden brown around the edges and lightly browned on top. Larger scones take closer to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for a few minutes before topping with optional toppings listed in the ingredients.
