Add the butter to the flour mixture and mix with either your fingertips, a pastry blender, or two knives until it forms the texture of coarse meal.
4

Add the milk, chives, spinach and cheese and mix gently until just incorporated (the dough may look a bit dry, but allow it to sit for a few minutes and the flour will soak up all the milk).

Cut the dough into 9 even squares.
7

Place scones on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Move immediately to a wire cooling rack.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Keep Butter Ice-Cold 🧊Use frozen butter cubes and work quickly to cut them into the flour—cold butter creates steam pockets that produce tender, flaky scones instead of dense ones.
- Squeeze Spinach Completely Dry 💧After wilting and cooling spinach, press it firmly in a clean kitchen towel to remove all excess moisture, preventing soggy scones and ensuring proper texture.
- Don't Overmix the Dough ✋Mix just until the dough comes together—overworking develops gluten and makes scones tough; stop as soon as you see no dry flour.
- Toast Chives Before Adding 🔥Briefly warm chopped chives in a dry skillet before folding into the dough to intensify their flavor and reduce any harsh, raw onion bite.
- Brush with Milk Before Baking ✨Lightly brush the tops with whole milk just before baking to create a beautiful golden exterior and help the cheese brown evenly.
