Zucchini Cheddar Savory Scones
Zucchini Cheddar Savory Scones are flaky homemade scones filled with grated zucchini, sharp cheddar, herbs, and buttery layers.
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup cold butter
- 1 cup shredded cheddar
- 1 cup grated zucchini
- 2 tbsp chives
- 2/3 cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C), line a baking sheet with parchment, and squeeze excess moisture from the grated zucchini.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl, then cut in the cold butter until small pea-sized pieces remain.
- Add the shredded cheddar, zucchini, and chives, tossing lightly so the ingredients are coated with flour.
- Pour in the buttermilk gradually and stir just until a shaggy dough begins to form without becoming smooth.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, gently pat it into a thick round, and cut it into eight wedges.
- Arrange the wedges on the baking sheet, chill them for 10 minutes, then bake for 18–20 minutes until golden.
- Cool briefly before serving warm with butter, eggs, soup, or salad.
