FAQ & Tips for Making These Scones
Pay attention to your everything bagel seasoning-
The secret to the everything bagel flavor of these scones is in the seasoning. However all everything bagel seasoning isn’t created equal. Some are very heavy on the salt and you don’t want to end up with salty scones. If yours has a lot of salt you can omit the salt in the recipe and make sure to use unsalted butter. If you want to whip up a batch of your own it is really easy. This recipe is a great one!
Make sure your butter and cream cheese are cold-
Unlike many baking recipes these scones don’t require room temperature butter they require cold butter! For the best results you want to make sure that your butter is nice and cold! If your kitchen is warm you can chop it into cubes and pop it back in the fridge before using. Make sure it is nice and firm and cold before you get started.
Don’t overmix your dough-
If you’ve never made scones before you may be tempted to get them mixed until all of the lumps are gone. However you don’t need to! The dough should be like biscuit dough with small lumps and visible pieces of butter or cream cheese.
Refrigerate the dough if needed-
If your kitchen is warm your dough might be a little on the soft side as the butter softens. Even the heat of your hands while working with the dough can change the temperature quite a bit. If your dough feels really soft and squishy after you’ve formed your scones you can pop it in the fridge for about 30 minutes before baking. Cool dough results in nice tender scones.
Here’s what you’ll need to make these scones
½ Cup Milk– You can use any milk you’d like I use whole milk but 2% will work too. You can also use heavy whipping cream for extra rich dough if you’d like.
1 Egg- You’ll need one fresh large egg.
2 Cups Flour– All purpose flour works well, but you can also use pastry flour for a lighter texture.
1 Tbsp Baking Powder– Make sure your baking powder is fresh so your scones rise properly.
2 tsp Sugar– You can use granulated sugar or cane sugar they both work well.
¾ tsp Salt- Regular table salt or Himalayan pink salt work well. If your everything bagel seasoning has a lot of salt omit this.
4 oz Cream Cheese– You want your cream cheese to be nice and cold. Cube it and keep it refrigerated until you’re ready to use it.
6 Tbsp Butter– Make sure your butter is nice and cold. Cut it into cubes and keep refrigerated until ready to use.
2 Tbsp Fresh Chives– Fresh chives are the best for this recipe, but in a pinch you can use dried.
1 Egg White– This is to brush the top of the scones before baking
1 tsp Water
1 Tbsp Everything Bagel Seasoning– Use your favorite brand or make your own!
Here’s how to make these everything scones-
First you’ll need to preheat the oven to 400 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt, mix well.
Cut your cold butter and cream cheese into small cubes and place in with the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter 2 knives cut the cream cheese and butter pieces into the flour mixture blending until the mixture is soft and crumbly. Alternately if you don’t have a pastry blender or don’t want to do it by hand you can place the dry ingredients, cream cheese and butter in a food processor and pulse them until the mixture is crumbly.
In a medium bowl whisk together one whole egg and milk.
Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir together with a wooden spoon or spatula.
Add in 1 ½ Tbsp chopped chives, fold to stir in evenly.
Place the scone dough on a lightly floured surface and knead gently until smooth and well mixed.
Then pat the dough into an 8×6 rectangle. Cut into 8 equal pieces (each will be 3×2)
Arrange the scones 2 in apart on your prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl whisk egg white and water. Brush across the tops of the dough and sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning and remaining chives.
Bake scones for 20- 25 minutes or until golden brown on top.
Remove from oven and allow to cool a little before serving. Can be served or warm or completely cool.
Store in an airtight container.
