Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking, powder, salt, dry mustard & pepper. Add the cheese and butter, cutting the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add the scallions and cream, mixing just until the dough forms a bowl.

On a lightly-floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/2-inch thickness. Using a lightly-floured 2-inch biscuit cutter, cut as many scones as possible. Press together or re-roll the scraps to cut additional scones. Place the scones on an ungreased baking sheet.

Brush the tops with cream, and bake 15-17 minutes, or until light golden brown. Transfer to a cooling rack, or serve warm.
