Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, diced
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 large egg
• 0.25 cup heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 3

Add the cold, diced butter to the almond flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the cheddar cheese, fresh chives, and parsley, ensuring they are well distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and heavy cream until well combined.

Step 6

Add the egg and cream mixture to the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to mix until a dough forms.

Step 7

Lightly dust a clean working surface with almond flour. Turn the dough out onto the surface and gently shape it into a 1-inch thick circle.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife or a dough cutter, cut the circle into 8 even wedges.

Step 9

Transfer the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on top and cooked through.

Step 11

Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy the savory, cheesy goodness!
