Cheese Scones with Scallions

I love baking scones because they are pastry with less amount of work compared to making pies. It is this versatility that gets me hooked to baking. Actually, to bake and to write- these are the delicious ways I use my spare time in this busy phase of motherhood. Alongside raising my two girls, food blogging has me head over heels in love.

I think that is how baking and motherhood differs. With baking, you always have a choice. With motherhood, not as always. On such transitions, your choice will be to let go each time. Let them grow, let them soar. Let them be Grade One.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 6 tbsp cold butter or 85 grams, cut into little bits
• 1 cup cheddar cheese grated
• 3 stalks scallions chopped, both white and green parts
• 2 large eggs
• 1/3 cup sour cream

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt and baking powder. Add the pieces of cold butter and cut them into the powders using a pastry cutter or rub them into the flour mixture using your fingers. The mixture should turn into a coarse meal with small and medium lumps.
2. Mix in the cheese and the scallions to the bowl. Combine the sour cream and eggs. Add them to the bowl and stir everything using a wooden spoon just until the mixture is moistened and a sticky, shaggy dough is formed.
