How to Make Sharp Old Cheddar Scones With Smoked Salmon
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon dried rosemary.
- 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.
- Gradually add 3/4 cup buttermilk, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently about 10 times.
- Pat the dough into a 3/4-inch thick round.
- Let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
- Using a 2-inch biscuit cutter or a floured glass, cut out scones and place them on a lightly greased baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- While the scones bake, prepare the sour cream mixture: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 tablespoon dried dill, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- For full-sized scones: Serve each scone warm with 1 tablespoon of sour cream mixture and 2-3 slices of smoked salmon. Garnish with fresh dill.
- For appetizer-sized scones: Cut the baked scones in half. Top each half with sour cream mixture and smoked salmon slices. Garnish with fresh dill.
