Feta Spinach Scones

Ingredients

Ingredients

• 4 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2.5 cups white whole wheat flour
• 1.25 tsp baking powder
• 0.25 tsp baking soda
• 0.5 tsp fine salt
• 0.25 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 2 tsp dried dill
• 1.5 cups baby spinach
• 4 oz feta cheese
• 0.5 cups plain greek yogurt
• 0.75 cups milk of choice
• 1 large egg
• extra salt, dried herbs, or topping of choice

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, silicone baking sheet, or lightly grease with oil.
2. Place the ½ stick of butter (not cut into pieces) into the freezer while you prep the other ingredients.
3. To a large bowl add flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, dried herbs, and garlic powder. Whisk to combine.
4. Using a box grater, grate the frozen butter. Alternately, you can cut butter into small cubes, scatter them over the flour, then use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to combine the butter with flour until it’s broken up into small bits.
5. Use a large spoon to stir in the butter, chopped spinach and crumbled feta. Mix yogurt and milk then pour it into the bowl. Stir until a rough dough forms. Once the dough gets too thick to stir use your hands to press the dough into a cohesive ball.
6. Transfer the dough to the center of the prepared baking sheet then use your hands to press into an 8-inch circle. Use a large knife to cut the circle across into 8 equal wedges. Gently move the wedges a part so they aren’t directly touching.
7. Brush the beaten egg over each scone. Sprinkle with additional dried herb seasoning and coarse salt, if desired.
8. Bake until golden brown and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Once baked, transfer scones to a cooling rack and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
