How to Make Pepper Jack Green Onion Mini Scones
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Spray a mini scone pan with flour-added baking spray or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, toss 1/2 cup shredded pepper jack cheese and 2 tablespoons chopped green onions with 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Cut 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter into the flour mixture using a pastry blender, two knives, or your fingers, until the butter is pea-sized and the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a small bowl, lightly beat 1 large egg and 1/4 cup half & half with a fork. Add to the flour mixture.
- Add the cheese and green onion mixture to the flour mixture.
- Gently fold the mixture with a wooden spoon until it just comes together.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for less than a minute.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. If using a mini scone pan, pat each portion into a section of the pan.
- Alternatively, pat the dough into a 3/4- to 1-inch thick circle or rectangle and cut into desired shapes (wedges or use a biscuit cutter).
- Lightly beat the remaining 1 egg with 1 teaspoon of water.
- Generously brush the tops of the scones with the egg wash.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
