PEPPER JACK & GREEN ONION MINI SCONES



Pepper Jack & Green Onion Mini Scones image

UPDATED 04/03/10: Thanks Tea Jenny, for bringing the omission to my attention! The original recipe did in fact call for 1 TBL of Baking Powder! I've been making them without it in the Mini Scone Pan and it didn't seem to make much difference, but for nicely formed scones shaped by hand or with a biscuit cutter, it's a must! I adapted this recipe from one called Quiche Lorraine Scones on the goodLife {eats} blog. I wanted to make a meatless, savory scone, suitable for my Nordic Ware Mini Scone Pan. The pan is not necessary as you can easily pat the dough into a circle and cut into wedges or use a biscuit cutter. These scones are quick and easy to make and keep in the fridge for 5-6 days. Reheat in microwave for just a few seconds to take the chill off. Enjoy with Soup, Chili, for Breakfast, as a Snack ... anytime!

The Pepper Jack Green Onion Mini Scones will delight your taste buds with their savory flavors and textures. Here are some essential tips and a comprehensive conclusion based on this recipe:

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before beginning, ensure that you have measured and prepared all the ingredients for easy access during the cooking process.
  • Chilling the Dough: For tender and flaky scones, refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This step allows the butter to harden, creating pockets of steam during baking, resulting in a light and fluffy texture.
  • Using Fresh Ingredients: The freshness of the ingredients used, especially the green onions and pepper jack cheese, significantly impacts the overall flavor of the scones. Using high-quality ingredients will result in a richer and more enjoyable taste.
  • Baking Temperature: Keep a close eye on the scones while baking. The ideal temperature for baking is 400°F (200°C), and they should be baked for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Storing and Freezing: Once baked, let the scones cool completely before storing them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the scones for up to 2 months. When ready to serve, reheat them in a preheated oven or microwave until warmed through.

Conclusion:

The Pepper Jack Green Onion Mini Scones offer a delightful fusion of flavors and textures. They are a perfect addition to any brunch, lunch, or snack. The combination of sharp pepper jack cheese, aromatic green onions, and flaky scone dough creates a satisfying and flavorful experience. Whether you enjoy them fresh from the oven or reheat them later, these mini scones are a versatile treat that can be enjoyed on various occasions. Serve them with your favorite spread, jam, or simply enjoy their savory goodness. Happy baking!
