For scones that are tender, not tough, be careful not to overwork the butter into the dough.
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or fork until pea-sized.
Stir in Cheddar and chives, then add buttermilk and 2 Tbsp. water; knead gently just until blended.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and pat into an 8-inch square. Cut dough into 2-inch squares, then cut squares into two triangles. Arrange scones on prepared baking sheet, spaced 1 inch apart, and brush tops with egg-water mixture; bake until golden, about 25 minutes.

These are excellent. My family kept reaching for them even after they had finished their meal. Flaky, tasty and very easy to make.
