Zucchini Cheddar Scones Ingredients: 2 1/2 cups + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, divided 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 cup granulated sugar 1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter, very cold and cut into tiny pieces 1 large egg, beaten 1/2 cup full-fat sour cream 2/3 cup grated zucchini, drained 3/4 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese, divided Directions: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat; set aside. In a large bowl, mix together 2 1/2 cups flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and work it into the flour mixture using your fingers until it resembles a coarse meal. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and sour cream, then add to the flour and butter mixture. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of flour, grated zucchini, and 1/2 cup of the cheddar cheese; toss to coat, then gently fold this mixture into the dough using a spatula until just combined. Turn the shaggy dough out onto a floured surface and shape it into an 8-inch circle. Cut the dough into 8 wedges and transfer them carefully to the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the top of each scone with the remaining cheese. Bake for 22-24 minutes, or until golden brown on top and cooked through. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
