Cheesy Herb Scones

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions
• 1 large egg
• 3/4 cup milk

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
3. Cut in Butter:
   • Add the cold butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Add Cheese and Herbs:
   • Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped parsley, and chopped green onions until evenly distributed.
5. Mix Wet Ingredients:
   • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and stir until just combined. The dough will be sticky.
6. Shape the Dough:
   • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead it gently a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a circle about 1-inch thick.
7. Cut into Wedges:
   • Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 wedges. Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
8. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Serve:
   • Let the scones cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm, and enjoy your cheesy herb scones!

These scones are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a savory snack. Enjoy!
