How to Make Honey Cheddar Scones
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese and 2 tablespoons chopped scallions.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup heavy cream, 1/3 cup honey, and 1 large egg until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a 1-inch thick circle.
- Use a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter or knife to cut out 12 scones.
- Place scones 1-2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- In a small bowl, microwave 2 teaspoons of honey for 10 seconds to slightly warm.
- Brush the warmed honey over the tops of the scones and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with honey butter (optional).
