You Will Need (11 things)

  • 6 ¾ cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1 tbsp Baking Powder
  • ½ tsp Baking Soda
  • 3/10 cup Sugar
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • 1 ½ tsp Onion Powder
  • 3 Sticks of Butter
  • ¼ cup Rosemary (finely chopped)
  • 3 ½ cup Cheddar Cheese , shredded
  • 1 ¼ cup Cream
  • 1 ¼ cup Buttermilk

Steps (8 steps, 45 minutes)

  1. 1

    Combine, flour, baking powder/soda, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, sugar and rosemary together in stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.

  2. 2

    Cut cold cubes of butter into the mixer and using the paddle inside the mixer to bring the butter into the flour. When the butter is about pea sized, add in half the cheese and mix for another 30 seconds to a minute.

  3. 3

    Add all of the buttermilk, and cream into the dough and use the mixer to slowly bring the dough – being careful to not overdevelop the gluten content—do not overmix.

  4. 4

    Place the dough out onto a clean working surface and roll the dough out rectangle about 1.5” tall.

  5. 5

    Place the remaining cheese in the middle of the dough package. Fold the top 3rd of the dough over the center, and repeat the same with the bottom 3rd of the dough. Leaving the cheese encased within the dough.

  6. 6

    Roll the dough out into a rectangle again and fold into thirds once more. Let the dough rest for a couple hours at this point if possible.

  7. 7

    We cut our scones 2.5”x2.5” and cut that square on the bias. But any desired shape can be cut out from the dough.

  8. 8

    Bake at 350, with a light egg wash and a sprinkle of black pepper on top for 24 minuets, or until golden brown.
