Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon coarse salt
  • ¼ cup chives finely chopped
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese grated
  • 1 ¼ cups heavy whipping cream plus more for brushing

Instructions
 

  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, and chives in a large bowl. Fold in grated cheese.
  • Add one cup of heavy cream to the dry ingredients and gently mix until the cream has been completely absorbed. Add in the remaining ¼ cup heavy cream. Mix just until combined.
  • Lightly knead the dough on a lightly floured surface. With lightly floured hands, form dough into a slightly flattened circle about 1 in thick.
  • Using a bench scraper or knife, cut evenly into 8 triangles. Separate and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between them.
  • Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 400° F. Brush scones with heavy cream. Bake for 15-20 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through baking, until golden brown and firm. Remove from pan. Allow the scones to cool before eating.
