- Mix together the flour, baking powder and salt.
- Add the butter to the dry ingredients and work in with your fingertips until the mixture is crumbly and looks like breadcrumbs.
- Add in the wet ingredients. Mix until 50% incorporated.
- Add in the scallions and cheese and mix until just combined.
- Place the dough onto a clean surface and roll out to a ¾-inch thick circle. Cut out rounds using a 2.5-inch round cookie cutter or cut triangles with a knife if you don’t have a cookie cutter.

Notes
The scones are best served the day they are baked but they can be placed in a freezer bag and frozen for later. You can also freeze the dough after cutting out into individual portions and bake the from frozen.
