Goat cheese thyme scones. Okay, so I needed to separate all of these scone recipes...I have too many, but also there are never too many scones. The base for all of these is by far my favorite. I really have become a scone snob and I hope these live up to the hype for you too. And if you are feeling a little wild, feel free to throw a scone party and try them all!

Favorite tool for making scones is a cheese grater for the butter, here is a good one with the large whole size for cutting up the butter as needed!

Ingredients for Goat Cheese Thyme Scones
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ cup sugar (only 1 tablespoon for goat cheese & thyme)
- 6 tablespoon unsalted butter, cold
- 2 Tablespoons thyme
- ½ cup goat cheese
- ½ cup + 2 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1 egg
How to make Scones
- Preheat oven to 425° F, prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly flour one.
- In large bowl mix flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.
- Cut in the butter (use cheese grater to make this easier), the mixture needs to be a little chunky, not smooth. Add in thyme and goat cheese. Mix.
- Pour in the heavy cream and egg, mix with hands until a dough forms. Roll dough out on a floured surface and form a circle about 1" thick.
- Cut your dough into triangles as you would a pizza with a pizza cutter (or use cookie cutter to make shapes). Brush the scones with a little heavy cream. Sprinkle with a little salt on top.
- Place scones on prepared sheet separated 1-2 inches. Bake for roughly 20 minutes or until slightly golden.
- Remove scones and let cool.
