Gluten-Free JOC Appetizer - Cheddar and Chive Scones

Ingredients:

2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon gluten-free baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
1 cup grated gluten-free sharp cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
2/3 cup gluten-free milk (dairy or non-dairy)
1 large egg
1 tablespoon gluten-free Dijon mustard

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, gluten-free baking powder, and salt.

Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Stir in the grated gluten-free cheddar cheese and chopped fresh chives.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free milk, egg, and gluten-free Dijon mustard.

Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface (using more gluten-free flour as needed). Pat it into a circle about 1-inch thick.

Use a round biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out scones from the dough. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

These gluten-free Cheddar and Chive Scones are perfect as an appetizer or side dish. Enjoy!
