Cheddar Cheese and Chive Scones

Serving Size : 8

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon chives
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, up to 1
1/4 cup butter or margarine, cut up
1 large egg
2/3 cup buttermilk

Measure and mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, chives and cheddar cheese. Add the butter or margarine. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles course crumbs. Lightly beat the egg with the buttermilk. Pour in the egg/buttermilk mixture and stir with a fork until the mixture comes together. Turn out onto a floured board and with floured hands knead the dough 5 or 6 times.

Place the rounded dough onto a greased baking sheet and, using a floured hand, press the dough out into a circle about 8 inches in diameter. Using a large floured knife, cut into 8 pie-shaped segments. Bake at 425 F for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Serve warm with fresh butter and enjoy!

*If you don't have buttermilk on hand, add 1 1/2 teaspoons of lemon juice to a measuring cup and then fill with milk to the 2/3 mark. Let it set while you are preparing the other ingredients. The lemon juice will turn the milk into a buttermilk substitute that is just a good as the real thing.
