Scones are usually made with butter. These use cream cheese instead for a tender texture. Everyone will love them.
SCONES
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
5 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt, if desired
1 cup (4 oz.) crumbled feta cheese
4 ounces cream cheese or 1/3-less-fat cream cheese (Neufchatel), cut into 1-inch cubes
4 scallions or green onions, chopped
1 cup half-and-half or milk
1 egg
GLAZE, IF DESIRED
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
Heat oven to 400°F. Grease large cookie sheet. In large bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt; mix well. With pastry blender or fork, cut in feta cheese and cream cheese until mixture is crumbly. Add scallions; toss gently until combined. In small bowl, combine half-and-half and 1 egg; blend well. Add half-and-half mixture to flour mixture; stir lightly, just until soft dough forms.
Turn dough out onto well floured surface; knead lightly 5 or 6 times. Pat or press dough into 1-inch-thick round. With floured knife, cut into 8 wedges. Place wedges 2 inches apart on greased cookie sheet. In small bowl, combine glaze ingredients; blend well. Brush over tops of wedges.
Bake at 400°F. for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove scones from cookie sheet. Cool 5 minutes. Serve warm or cool. Store in refrigerator.
