Sausage Cheddar Chive Scones

 

Denise posted a recipe for Bacon Cheddar Scallion scones.  I tried it substituting sausage and chives.  They were so good!

2c flour

1 tsp salt

1 tsp baking powder

2 tsp sugar

4 tbs cold butter cubed

1c diced cheddar cheese

1 tsp dried chives

5 breakfast sausages cut into small pieces

3/4 c + 2 tbs cream

preheat oven to 475 F

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl mix flour, salt, baking powder, sugar.  Add butter, blend with fingers until crumbly.

Stir in cheese, chive, sausages. Stir in cream.  Form a 7 inch disk 3/4" thick.  Cut into 8 wedges.

Bake 22-24 mins until golden brown.

I have a hot older oven so I often use a lower temperature for less time. I have learned to check on the baking at intervals, better to catch items before they  burn.
