CHEDDAR-DILL SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine 4 cups of flour, the baking powder, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Add the butter and mix on low speed until the butter is in pea-sized pieces. Mix the eggs and heavy cream and quickly add them to the flour-and-butter mixture. Combine until just blended. Toss together the Cheddar, dill, and 1 tablespoon of flour and add them to the dough. Mix until they are almost incorporated.
• Dump the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead it for 1 minute, until the Cheddar and dill are well distributed. Roll the dough 3/4-inch thick. Cut into 4-inch squares and then in half diagonally to make triangles. Brush the tops with egg wash. Bake on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for 20 to 25 minutes, until the outside is crusty and the inside is fully baked.

• Transfer to a lightly floured work surface and gently shape into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle. Either cut 2-inch circles with a biscuit cutter or cut into 6 squares, then cut each square in half on the diagonal. Transfer to baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes, until browned on the bottom. Flip over, bake 2 more minutes, and remove from the heat. Serve warm or allow to cool.

• In a small bowl, stir together the sour cream and the heavy cream.
• Add the creams to the dry ingredients and stir just until everything is moistened and the dough sticks together.
• Turn the dough out on to a floured surface. Using your floured hands, form the dough into 2 rounds that are 1 inch thick and 6-7 inches in diameter. Cut each round into 8 wedges, then transfer all to the prepared baking sheet.
• Freeze at least 10 minutes, if baking immediately. Or freeze until firm and place in a ziplock baggie until ready to serve.
• When ready to bake, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place frozen scones evenly spaced about 2 inches apart, on a lightly greased baking sheet.
• Sprinkle the scones with a small amount of shredded cheese if desired.

SAVORY WHOLE WHEAT, SPINACH, AND CHEDDAR SCONES

Steps:

• Position a rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
• Whisk the honey and cream in a separate bowl until smooth.
• Stir together the spinach and Cheddar cheese in a small bowl and set aside.
• Whisk the cream mixture into the flour mixture. Stir in the spinach mixture until smooth. Don't overmix the dough. It's okay if a few lumps of dry ingredients are visible.
• Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead the dough very briefly, about 30 seconds, just until it sticks together. There should be as little handling as possible. Gently form the dough into a ball and lightly dust it with a little flour. Sprinkle a little more flour on the work surface and using a floured rolling pin, roll out the dough into a 1-inch-thick round that is 8 to 9 inches in diameter.
• Cut the dough into desired shapes. Gather up the scraps, reroll them, and cut out more scones until the dough is used up. Pat the scones lightly to smooth the tops.
• Place the scones about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake the scones for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the tops spring back when pressed lightly and they are golden brown on the top and bottom.
• Remove the scones from the oven and cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet. Transfer the scones to a wire rack to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
