Ingredients
1/2
cup finely chopped fresh chives
5
oz extra-sharp Cheddar, coarsely grated (1 1/2 cups)
2
cups heavy cream plus additional for brushing
Accompaniments: sliced prosciutto and honeydew melon
Directions
1.
Preheat oven to 400°F.
2.
Whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Add chives and Cheddar, tossing to combine. Stir in cream with a fork until a sticky dough forms.
3.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead 8 times with floured hands. Halve dough and form each half into a 7-inch round. Brush tops of rounds with additional cream and cut each into 8 wedges.
4.
Arrange wedges about 1/2 inch apart on an ungreased large baking sheet and bake in middle of oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cool on a rack.
