osprey_archerThis weekend, I made my first cookie sale. Five dollars for a pan of butter tart squares! Cheap at the price.
With the profits I bought milk, and then by fair means or foul procured cheese, onions, and red peppers.
Obviously this meant that I had to make onion-and-red pepper cheesy scones. As I'd never made these things before - had, indeed, invented the recipe as soon as the cheese etc. became available - I was apprehensive about how they'd turn out.
Fortunately the scones came out all right, and so I offer you the recipe.
Super Special Awesome Cheesy Scones
1 cup flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp butter
1/2 cup grated cheese (I used mozzarella, but I've made this recipe with colby - any melty cheese would do)
1/2 cup milk
miscellaneous add-ins, diced, measured to taste
Preheat oven to 475 degrees F. Mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter until it's about the size of small peas. Stir in cheese and add-ins (I used about tablespoon each of onions and red peppers, but I bet other things would be nice too. Olives if you like them, spinach, maybe a chopped up clove of garlic? Even blue cheese - for taste, not as the main cheese).
Add milk and stir together very gently, just until everything comes together. If you over stir they'll be tough. Bake on parchment lined cookie sheet or skillet or whatever for 13-15 minutes; my recipe (this is based off another recipe) says 15, but the scones were burnt a bit, so it depends on the oven.
Eat piping hot, with butter. Scones don't keep very well - they get stale within a day - but toasting them and buttering them up revives them somewhat.
