French Onion Scones - The Farmstyle

Add butter to skillet. Once hot and melted, add the onions, salt and pepper, and allow them to cook down and deeply caramelize for about 20 to 25 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions become very dark, soft and jammy.
Add in the garlic, Worcestershire, and balsamic vinegar, and allow it to bubble up and reduce for about 30 seconds. Allow mixture to simmer until reduced.
Set aside to cool.

Preheat oven to 350℉. In a large mixing bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt.
With a cheese grater, grate your cold butter and mix into dry ingredients with your hands until it reaches a crumbly texture.
Create a well in the center of your bowl and add egg and buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
Fold in shredded cheese and french onions; you want the dough to be just sticky enough to stick to your hands.
Pour mixture onto a floured surface and shape into a circle. Cut into 6-8 scones, the same way you would a pizza. Then place onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
Brush with heavy cream, sprinkle with flakey salt and bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden on edges.
