August 13, 2019 by Kathleen Sanderson

 

Kale & Cheddar Scones

Yields 16 scones

 

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 Tbsp. granulated sugar

1 Tbsp. baking powder

¾ cup unsalted butter (1 ½ stick)

1 cup plain yogurt or buttermilk

1 tsp. baking soda

2 eggs, divided

1 cup shredded cheddar

1 ½-2 cups chopped baby kale

Kosher or coarse sea salt

Procedure

1.     Mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in the bowl of a food processor.  Add butter and blend until it resembles coarse cornmeal.  Transfer to a bowl.

2.     Combine yogurt, baking soda and 1 whole egg, 1 egg yolk and mix well. Add the buttermilk, cheddar and kale to flour mixture and mix gently to create dough.

3.     Turn dough onto a lightly floured board and divide in half. Pat each dough half into circle approx. 6”-7” in diameter.  Cut each circle into eighths, and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet.  Brush scones with remaining egg white and sprinkle with salt.. Bake scones in a pre-heated 400°F oven for 14-16 minutes. Cool and serve as desired.
