3 cups flour
2 tbsps baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup butter
1 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
1 tsp dill weed
1 tbsp chives, finely snipped
Preheat oven to 400 F. Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter to form pea-sized pieces. Add grated cheddar and herbs.
Mix eggs and buttermilk, and quickly add them to the flour mixture. Combine until just blended. Move the dough to a well-floured surface and knead a few times. Pat into a cirlce about 1-inch thick. Place dough on a parchment lined pie pan and cut into 8 wedges.
Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden.
Tip: The key to light and fluffy scones is to handle the dough as little as possible.
Goes well with soup!
