Savoury scones with Rosemary flavor

Ingredients:

2½ to 3 cups organic all-purpose flour

1 Tablespoon + 2 teaspoons baking powder (i only uses 1 tablespoon coz no more stock)

1 teaspoon salt (need to buy some fine salt, mine are coarse and still bite it... hehehe.. though i like it tat way)

4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled 

4 ounces cream cheese, softened in the microwave 15-30 seconds (you want it very soft)

4 scallions (green onions), green & white parts, chopped - I mixed it with some rosemary too... fresh from my potted garden

1 cup whole milk or half and half

1 large egg

Steps

1. Heat the oven to 400°.

2. Combine 2½ cups of the flour, the baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.

3. Add the cheeses & toss gently with a fork until combined.

4. Add the scallions & toss gently with a fork until combined.

5. Beat the milk (or half and half) with the egg and gently it fold into the dry ingredients, mixing lightly until a soft dough forms. Add up to 1/2 cup additional flour if the dough is too sticky.

6. On a floured surface, gently pat the dough into a circle approximately 1-inch thick (or into two smaller circles for 12 scones). The key to tender scones is to handle the dough as little as possible and with a light touch.

For this part, i did not follow the recipe, coz I try to minimize handling. So what I did, i transfer the dough to a plastic and flatten it there (dont even touch when i transfer, just use stainless steel spoon) and cut from there too.

With a sharp knife cut the dough into 8 or 12 wedges and place them on a lined parchment paper.

7. Brush the tops and sides of the scones with the milk if desired, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Serve warm, or cool completely and refrigerate or freeze in a heavy zipper bag or airtight container.
