CHEDDAR DILL SCONES

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, fresh chopped chives, and dill. Gently whisk until all the ingredients are combined.
• Using a box grater, grate the cheese. Add the grated cheese to the flour mixture and gently toss until the cheese is coated in flour.
• With the same box grater, grate the butter. I recommend pulling the butter from the freezer immediately before grating so it holds together. (Don't worry if it starts to melt in your hand.) Add the grated butter to the mixing bowl with the cheese and gently stir to combine.
• Add the buttermilk to the bowl and stir using a large spoon about 8-10 times until incorporated. Then, use your hands to bring the dough together into a disk. Don't worry if it's crumbly-it's supposed to be! Scone dough should stay shaggy and not be completely smooth, which gives it that wonderful sconey-texutre.
• Preheat your oven to 375°F if you plan on baking right away. Then, form an 8- inch to 9-inch disk of dough on a cutting board or right on the counter. Cut the dough into 8 wedges (just like you would a pizza). Separate the pieces and place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
• Place the scones in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to make sure the butter is as cool as possible before it goes in the oven. You can leave your scones uncovered in the freezer for up to 1 hour. If you'd like to freeze them for longer (up to 2 weeks), cover each raw scone tightly with plastic wrap and cook whenever you're ready.
• Bake the scones for 20 minutes or until they are light golden brown on top. Let them cool for at least 5 minutes before serving them. Enjoy!

BAREFOOT CONTESSA CHEDDAR DILL SCONES - INA GARTEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine 4 cups of flour, the baking powder, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Add the butter and mix on low speed until the butter is in pea-sized pieces. Mix the eggs and heavy cream and quickly add them to the flour-and-butter mixture. Combine until just blended. Toss together the Cheddar, dill, and 1 tablespoon of flour and add them to the dough. Mix until they are almost incorporated.
• Dump the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead it for 1 minute, until the Cheddar and dill are well distributed. Roll the dough 3/4-inch thick. Cut into 4-inch squares and then in half diagonally to make triangles. Brush the tops with egg wash. Bake on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for 20 to 25 minutes, until the outside is crusty and the inside is fully baked.

SAVORY LEMON DILL PARMESAN SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Stir 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice into soy milk in a small bowl to make mock buttermilk. Let sit until curdled, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Mix flour, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, sugar, baking powder, dill, and salt together in a large bowl using a fork. Mix in butter with a pastry blender until dough starts to clump together.
• Whisk mock buttermilk, remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and egg together in a bowl. Pour over dough and mix gently with a fork just until incorporated.
• Dust work surface lightly with flour. Turn out dough and pat into an 8-inch disc. Fold in half and gently flatten back out into a disc. Repeat folding and flattening the dough 3 more times, to build fluffy layers in the dough.
• Transfer disc of dough to the baking sheet and brush with beaten egg. Cut into 8 wedges and pull wedges apart so they are not touching.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden, about 10 minutes.
• Remove scones from oven. Combine Parmesan cheese and black pepper together in a small bowl; sprinkle on top of the scones.
• Return to the oven and bake until golden brown and edges look dry, about 10 minutes more.

BAREFOOT CONTESSA'S CHEDDAR AND DILL SCONES

Steps:

• Mix cheese and dill together lightly in bowl and set aside.
• Mix flour, baking powder and salt together. Cut in butter with pastry blender, fork or fingertips until mixture is uniformly crumbly, like corn meal. This step may also be done in food processor and mixture transferred to large bowl.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Add eggs, all but tablespoon of cream, dill and cheese and mix very lightly but thoroughly to make soft dough. Do not overmix.
• Transfer dough to well-floured board or work surface, pat it into even square, then roll it lightly to make 12-inch square about inch thick. Mix egg yolk with remaining tablespoon of cream and brush on dough. Cut dough into 4-inch squares and cut each square on diagonal in four, to make triangles. Place triangles about 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets and bake about 20 minutes, until golden. Cool 15 minutes.

HERB-CHEDDAR SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Toss butter in flour mixture to evenly coat, then press between your fingers until mixture has the texture of coarse meal, with a few pea-size pieces remaining. In another bowl, whisk together cream and eggs.
• Make a well in flour mixture; add egg mixture, cheddar, scallions, and dill. Stir together with a fork until dough begins to form but mixture is still crumbly. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface; knead just to combine (do not overwork). Pat out 1/2 inch thick. With a floured 2 3/4-inch biscuit cutter, cut out rounds, as closely together as possible; place on prepared sheet. Gather scraps; pat out again and repeat.
• Brush tops with cream; sprinkle with more dill and scallions. Bake, rotating sheet halfway through, until golden brown, 23 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely.
