Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1/4 cup fresh chives, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

1 teaspoon garlic powder

3/4 cup buttermilk

1 egg (for egg wash)

Optional: extra cheese or herbs for topping

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

      Cut in Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to incorporate the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

        Add Cheese and Herbs: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped chives, parsley, and garlic powder until evenly distributed.

          Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk until smooth. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; it’s okay if there are a few pieces of flour left.

            Shape the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Gently pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Cut into your desired shapes (triangles or circles) using a sharp knife or biscuit cutter.

              Prepare for Baking: Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart. Beat the egg and brush the tops of the scones with the egg wash. For a gourmet touch, sprinkle additional cheese or herbs on top if desired.

                Bake the Scones: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

                  Cool and Serve: Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet. Serve warm with butter or enjoy them plain!
