Recipe - Cheddar Cheese And Chive Scones

2 cup Allpurpose flour
1 tablespoon Sugar
2 teaspoon Baking powder
One half teaspoon Baking soda
One half teaspoon Salt
1 tablespoon Chives
One half cup Shredded cheddar cheese; up
to 1
One fourth cup Butter or margarine; cut up
1 lg Egg
2/3 cup Buttermilk*

Measure and mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, chives
and cheddar cheese. Add the butter or margarine. Using a pastry blender or
two knives, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles course crumbs.

Lightly beat the egg with the buttermilk.

Pour in the egg/buttermilk mixture and stir with a fork until the mixture
comes together.

Turn out onto a floured board and with floured hands knead the dough 5 or 6
times.

Place the rounded dough onto a greased baking sheet and, using a floured
hand, press the dough out into a circle about 8 inches in diameter.

Using a large floured knife, cut into 8 pieshaped segments.

Bake at 425ø for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Serve warm with fresh butter and enjoy!

*If you don't have buttermilk on hand, add 1 One half teaspoons of lemon juice
to a measuring cup and then fill with milk to the 2/3 mark. Let it set
while you are preparing the other ingredients. The lemon juice will turn
the milk into a buttermilk substitute that is just a good as the real
thing. This recipe furnished by the innkeepers at Gasconade Getaway.
