Try these hearty scones or experiment with your own (omit the pear and cheese from this recipe, and substitute your favorite combinations, sweet or savory)-then tell us about it online . Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper |
8 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces |
2 ounces parmesan cheese (about 1/2 cup lightly packed) |
2 peeled bartlett pears, shredded, pressed, and drained (about 3/4 cup) |
3/4 cup plus 1 1/2 tablespoons whipping cream, plus more if needed |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°. Place first 4 ingredients in a food processor, and pulse to combine. Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal.
2. Transfer to a bowl, and stir in cheese and pear. Add whipping cream, and stir just until combined. (Do not overstir.) If dough is still crumbly, stir in more whipping cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, to bring dough together.
3. Knead dough gently several times with floured hands on a lightly floured surface. (Dough should just come together and not be sticky.) Pat dough into an 8-inch-diameter round, about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 8 triangles with a sharp knife, and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
4. Bake at 400° for 24 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly before serving.
