I don’t know about you, but I love a good scone. 

January is already finite and February is halfway through. I am excited about the prospect of spring, the weather here bringing beautiful blooms already. I look forward to seeing the bright sun more frequently and reaping in its warmth and the energy it provides me. Though sometimes rainy, I am thankful for California winters. Coming from Chicagoland, a little rain and 40-degree weather “ain’t no thang”.

Thus far, I am staying true to my 2018 goal in prioritizing self-love and attention to myself and my goals. This year is already going fast, perhaps faster than the last. Summer will be here before you know it; all the more reason to keep pushing towards your goals and embracing the present.

These cheddar chive scones are the real deal.

Savory scones are a breed of their own. The cheddar chive combination in this recipe makes them utterly irresistible. They make a great breakfast, snack or accompaniment to soup. Once you start eating them, quite frankly it’s hard to stop. They are great on their own or slathered in butter. Make yourself a batch of cheddar chive scones and basque in the deliciousness.

1x2x3x

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tbso baking powder
• 1 tsp course salt
• 1/4 cup chives finely chopped
• 1 cup cheddar cheese grated
• 1 1/4 cups heavy cream plus more for brushing

Instructions

 

• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and chives. Stir in grated cheese.

Using a bench scraper or knife, cut evenly into 6 large triangles. Separate and place on a non-stick baking sheet, making sure to leave space between them. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
