Cheddar and Chive Scones

1 c all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 1/4 tsp salt
1 stick butter, chilled, cut into 1/4" dice
2/3 c heavy cream, plus 1 Tbsp for brushing
1 c (about 4 oz) grated cheddar
1 Tbsp finely chopped fresh chives

Heat oven to 425 degrees.

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in 2/3 c cream. Add cheddar and chives and use hands to combine; dough should be crumbly. Knead dough a couple of times until it comes together. Gently pat into a ball, then flatten slightly into a 1" thick disk. Transfer to a baking sheet. Slice into quarters, then cut each quarter in half. Brush top with remaining cream. Bake for about 30 minutes or until golden.
