Who says scones have to be sweet? Serve this savory scone recipe with a green salad or bowl of soup for a light meal. They're also great to hand to kids as they run out the door in the morning! Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
2 teaspoons sugar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper |
3 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into small pieces |
3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded reduced-fat extra-sharp cheddar cheese |
3/4 cup finely chopped 33%-less-sodium ham (about 3 ounces) |
3/4 cup fat-free buttermilk |
2 large egg whites |
cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°.
2. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl; cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in cheese and ham. Combine buttermilk and egg whites, stirring with a whisk. Add to flour mixture, stirring just until moist.
3. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead lightly 4 to 5 times with floured hands. Pat dough into an 8-inch circle on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Cut dough into 8 wedges, cutting into but not through dough. Bake at 400° for 20 minutes or until lightly browned.
