Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoonunsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cupsthinly sliced yellow onion
  • 1 tablespoonbrown sugar
  • 1 cupall-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoonKosher salt
  • 2 teaspoonsbaking powder
  • 1/2 cupcold unsalted butter (cut into small pieces)
  • 3 tablespoonsminced fresh chives
  • 1 cupunfed sourdough starter (or discard)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine the butter, onion, and sugar in a pan over medium-low heat. Cook the onions, covered, for about 20 minutes, stirring until they are nicely caramelized. Transfer to a bowl and cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least one hour.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 425 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Work the butter into the flour until the mixture is crumbly. Toss in the chives; chop the onions roughly and add them to the mixture. Mix to distribute the chives and onions evenly.

  4. 4

    Cut in the starter until the dough becomes cohesive. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Fold the dough over itself, and press down to about an 8-inch circle. Repeat the folding and pressing six times, pressing into an 8-inch circle about 1 inch high. Cut the dough into six equal wedges.

  5. 5

    Bake the scones on the prepared pan for 15 to 18 minutes until golden.
