  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and kosher salt, whisking until evenly distributed.
  3. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Incorporate the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions into the flour mixture.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt and water until smooth.
  6. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold until a dough forms.
  7. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat to about 1 inch thick, then cut into wedges.
  8. Brush the tops of the scones with cream, milk, or buttermilk before baking.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 17-20 minutes or until puffed and golden.
  10. Allow to cool for a few minutes on a wire rack before serving.
