To make these savory zucchini scones, start by preheating your oven and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar, then cut in the butter until the mixture is nice and crumbly. Next, whisk together an egg and some sour cream, fold that mixture into your dry ingredients along with the grated zucchini and cheese. Shape the dough into an 8-inch circle, cut it into wedges, and sprinkle some cheese on top. Bake the scones until golden brown. Eat them warm for maximum enjoyment!
To make the Zucchini Cheddar Scones, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat your oven to 400 °F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together 2 ½ cups flour, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ cup granulated sugar.
Crumble 1 stick very cold unsalted butter by cutting it into tiny pieces. Use your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles a coarse meal.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and ½ cup sour cream until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and use a fork to mix everything until just combined.
In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon flour, ⅔ cup grated zucchini, and ½ cup Cheddar cheese and toss to coat.
Using a spatula, gently fold the prepared filling into the scone dough until just combined. The dough will be shaggy.
Pour the dough onto a clean, floured work surface and knead it gently a few times until it comes together, then shape it into an 8-inch circle.
Cut the dough into 8 equal triangular wedges and gently transfer them to the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle each scone with a little of the remaining cheese.
Bake the scones for 22-24 minutes or until cooked through and the tops are golden brown.
Serve warm and enjoy!
