These cheddar chive scones are not your everyday scone, but they are made with fresh chives and shredded cheddar cheese.

If you look around my blog you will see many scone recipes. Yeah, in my family I am known for the scones that I make. It is really kind of funny because before I started this blog I had never made a scone in my life and to tell the truth had never eaten on. I am not really sure how I even got started making them, but I was in love with them after I made my first batch.

cheddar cheese and chives

I have always made scones with fruit or sweeter versions, this is actually the first savory scone recipe that I am sharing on my blog. To be honest with you I am really loving these cheddar chive scones, they are perfect for eating all by themselves or serve them with eggs, bacon, ham, or hashbrowns.

The summer is flying by and I have been trying to use herbs from my garden and the chives that I have planted were perfect for these scones.

Cheddar Chive Scones

Should you use cold butter for scones?

Yes, it is best to use cold butter in scones. When you use cold butter the butter does not blend completely into the dough instead it breaks down into small pieces. As the butter melts in the hot oven it creates steam that helps produce flaky layers.

    These scones look perfect, Dawn! Next thing I know, you’ll be opening up a scone bakery. Haha! Like you, I had never really made scones until I started the blog…but now they’re part of the baking repertoire. I love the crispy little bits on the top! And great use of chives here, too!
