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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Stir in the shredded pepper jack cheese and sliced green onions until evenly distributed.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Gather and re-roll the scraps as needed to cut out more scones.
Step 9
Lightly brush the tops of the scones with additional heavy cream to encourage browning.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden and puffed.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet. Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
