Chive and Onion Scones

Chive and Onion Scones are a delicious and savory treat that are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a side dish for any meal. These scones are made with a combination of flour, baking powder, salt, butter, chives, and onions, which give them a rich and flavorful taste.

To make these Chive and Onion Scones, you will need the following ingredients:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh chives
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- 3/4 cup buttermilk

To begin, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the chilled butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Next, add the chopped chives and green onions to the mixture and stir to combine. Pour in the buttermilk and stir until the dough comes together. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently until it forms a smooth ball.
Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1 inch. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out the scones and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops of the scones with a little bit of buttermilk and sprinkle with additional chopped chives and green onions.
Bake the scones for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Serve warm with butter or your favorite spread.
These Chive and Onion Scones are a perfect combination of savory and buttery flavors. They are a great addition to any meal and are sure to impress your guests. Try making them for your next brunch or breakfast gathering and watch as they disappear quickly!
