   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2 1/2           cups  all-purpose flour -- plus more for dusting
   2         tablespoon  granulated sugar
   1         tablespoon  baking powder
      1/2      teaspoon  salt
      1/4      teaspoon  ground black pepper
   2         tablespoon  fresh dill -- coarsely chopped
      1/4           cup  chives -- chopped small
      1/2           cup  unsalted butter -- cubed and cold
   1                cup  feta cheese -- crumbled
   1                cup  heavy whipping cream -- plus 1 tablespoon for egg wash
   1              large  egg -- room temperature

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, 
salt, and black pepper. Stir in the fresh dill and chives.

Using a pastry blender or two forks, cut in the cold, cubed butter 
until crumbly and mixture resembles small peas. Carefully stir in the 
feta, just until incoporated.

Pour the 1 cup of cream into the mixture, stirring only until the dry 
ingredients have moistened and mixture holds together when pressed. 
Carefully knead into a ball.

Transfer dough ball to a lightly floured surface. Gently press dough 
into an 8-in circle. Cut into 8 wedges. Place wedges onto a parchment 
lined sheet tray, leaving about 1-inch between each. Place tray into 
the refrigerator and allow to cool for about 20 minutes.

While scones are in the refrigerator, preheat the oven to 425F. In a 
small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of cream. After 
20 minutes, remove the tray of scones from the refrigerator. Brush 
each scone with the prepared egg wash (you will probably not use all of it.)

Bake scones for about 18 to 20 minutes, or until tops are golden. 
Allow the scones to cool slightly before eating.

MAKE-AHEAD - With a shelflife of 3 days (even longer if stored in the 
refrigerator), these scones can easily be made in advance.

They are best served within 24 hours of baking for maximum freshness.

Can scone dough be made in advance? Yes, you can make and portion the 
dough ahead of time. Refrigerate until firm before covering the tray 
in plastic wrap. Egg wash and bake before serving.

STORAGE - Store scones in an airtight container at room temperature 
for up to 3 days, or up to 5 days in the refrigerator.

FREEZE - Transfer cooled scones to a freezer-safe zip-top bag or 
airtight container. Separate layers with wax paper. Freeze for up to 3 months.
