Cheese and Chive Scones – Just Eight Ingredients (plus salt and pepper!)

There’s something magical about a warm, freshly baked scone with melted cheese inside. You might wonder how something this delicious can be so easy to make—and with just eight ingredients, no less!

Making the Scones – The Details

Start by mixing the dry ingredients: gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pepper. I recommend using a gluten-free flour blend to keep it simple and ensure the scones have a great texture. Then, add the cheese and chives, giving them a quick stir to coat with the flour mixture.

Next, whisk together the wet ingredients: milk, melted butter, and a splash of apple cider vinegar. (Pro tip: make sure the milk is at room temperature so it blends smoothly with the melted butter.)

Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and stir gently until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix—doing so can result in dense scones instead of light and fluffy ones.

Shaping the Scones – The Fun Part!

Now for the fun part! Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper, then use a cutter or knife to shape your scones. You can make them round, square, or triangular—whatever you prefer (or a mix of all three!).

Baking The Scones

Pop your scones into the oven, keeping an eye on them as oven temperatures can vary. They’re done when they turn a deep golden brown. Mine took about 25 minutes, but be sure to check after 20 minutes to make sure they don’t overbake.

And there you have it—gluten-free cheese and chive scones that are as easy to make as they are delicious. Enjoy them fresh from the oven, perfect with a hot cup of coffee or tea!

How to Serve Scones

As with most gluten-free baked goods, scones are best enjoyed fresh. Personally, I love them slightly warm—there’s nothing better than a warm scone with the cheese still melting inside. It’s irresistibly delicious!

Leftovers

If you happen to have any leftovers (though that’s unlikely!), store them at room temperature. To bring them back to life, simply preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and heat the scones for about 8 minutes. They’ll taste just as fresh and delicious as when they first came out of the oven.
