Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 400°F.
2
Whisk the first four ingredients together in a large bowl.
3
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).
5
Place dough on a lightly floured surface and gently press into an 8 x 8 inch square.
6
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 🧈Chill your butter in the freezer for 15 minutes before cutting it into pea-sized pieces; cold butter creates steam pockets that produce tender, flaky scones with a better rise.
- Squeeze Out Spinach Moisture 💧After blanching fresh spinach, squeeze it thoroughly in a clean kitchen towel to remove excess water, which prevents soggy scones and ensures even moisture distribution.
- Don't Overmix the Dough 🚫Mix only until the dough just comes together; overworking develops gluten that toughens the scones, so stop as soon as the ingredients are combined.
- Brush with Egg Wash for Golden Tops ✨Before baking, brush scones with an egg wash (beaten egg with a splash of milk) to achieve a beautiful golden-brown exterior and professional appearance.
- Grate Cheddar Right Before Mixing 🧀Use freshly grated sharp cheddar rather than pre-shredded cheese to avoid anti-caking agents that can create uneven texture; shred just before incorporating into the dough.
