Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 tbsp very COLD butter grated or cut into small cubes
  • 3/4 cup COLD heavy cream + additional for brushing
  • 7 oz Jones Dairy Farm Sausage heated and chopped
  • 4 oz crumbled feta cheese

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400º F.
  2. Mix the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, black pepper and salt together in a large bowl.
  3. Use a pastry cutter (or a couple of forks) to cut the COLD butter into the dry ingredients, just until pea sized crumbs form.
  4. Add the sausage and cheese and mix to combine.
  5. Make a hole or well in the center of the mixture and add ¾ cup of cream and mix just until everything is incorporated. You should be able to squeeze the dough together. If too crumbly, add a little more cream and mix. DO NOT OVER WORK THE DOUGH.
  6. Move the dough to a lightly floured surface and shape into a rectangle that is 12"x3" in size.
  7. Carefully cut the rectangle into 8 equal sized triangles.
  8. Place on a parchment lined sheet pan and brush the tops of the scones with heavy cream.
  9. Bake for 20 - 22 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes

Work quickly so that the butter stays cold. Once prepared, you can refrigerate or freeze the scones until ready to bake. If you bake from frozen, you will need to add a few additional minutes to the bake time.
