These savory and tender scones are really best served right out of the oven, slathered with butter. By the way, the amount of baking powder is correct. Be sure to use baking powder, NOT baking soda.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup butter
- 2 cups flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup light cream
- 1 egg, beaten
- butter
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In small microwave-safe bowl, combine onion, garlic, and butter. Microwave on high for 2 minutes, then stir. Microwave for another 1-2 minutes or until onion is tender. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, pepper and salt in large bowl and stir to mix. Add sauteed onions with the butter remaining in the bowl, light cream, and egg. Stir just until combined. Gently press the dough together with your hands to form a ball.
On ungreased cookie sheet, press dough into an 8" circle. Cut the circle into 8 wedges, like you were cutting a pie. Separate the wedges slightly. Bake at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes until lightly browned. Brush with more butter and serve immediately. 8 scones
