Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 cup Pepper jack cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 cup Green onions (thinly sliced)
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream (plus extra for brushing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour mixture until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the shredded pepper jack cheese and sliced green onions until evenly distributed.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and the heavy cream. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and mix gently with a fork until a shaggy dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a few times to bring it together, then pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
Using a small round cookie cutter (about 2 inches in diameter), cut out mini scones and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each scone.
Gather and re-roll the scraps as needed to cut out more scones.
Lightly brush the tops of the scones with additional heavy cream to encourage browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet. Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
