Corn And Black Pepper Scones Recipes

ROASTED RED PEPPER SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
• In a food processor, blend flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pepper briefly (about 3 pulses). Add butter and process to a "mealy" consistency. Add herbs, cheese, and roasted red peppers, processing briefly to combine. Transfer mixture into a large bowl, add 1 cup buttermilk and stir to moisten. If needed, add more buttermilk, up to 1/4 cup.
• Place dough on a floured surface and form into a disk, 3/4 to 1-inch in thickness. Cut into wedges, brush top of each wedge with egg wash. Place on a cookie sheet and bake for approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Place on rack and let cool to room temperature.

CHEDDAR & SWEETCORN SCONES

Steps:

• Bring a pan of salted water to the boil. Hold a corn cob at a right angle to the chopping board, then run a sharp knife down the length of the cob, as close to the core as you can get, slicing away the rows of corn. Boil the kernels for 4 mins or until just tender, then drain well.
• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Mix the flour, baking powder, mustard, cayenne, 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp thyme leaves in a large bowl, then rub in the butter until the mix looks like fine crumbs. Tip in most of the cheese and all of the corn. Mix the milk with the lemon juice, then stir into the bowl to make a slightly sticky dough. Don't over-work the dough.
• Tip the dough onto the floured work surface, knead 2-3 times to smooth a little, then divide into 10 balls. Shape each roughly with your hands and put onto a floured baking sheet. Brush each with a little milk, then scatter with a little cheese, cayenne and a few thyme leaves. Bake for 10-12 mins or until the scones are risen, golden and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. Cool on a rack.

BACON, PEPPER JACK, AND JALAPENO SCONES

Steps:

• In a large frying pan over medium-heat cook the bacon until brown and crispy; about 7 minutes.
• Transfer bacon to a paper towel lined plate and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Once it's cool enough to handle, transfer it to a small cutting board and using a sharp knife chop the bacon into bits; set aside.
• Carefully slice the jalapeno peppers in half vertically and use a small spoon to scrape out the seeds (don't use your bare fingers here). Chop the peppers into small bits; set aside.
• In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, brown sugar and salt; whisk well to combine. Quickly cut in the butter and cheese; stir in the paprika and pepper. Cover and place bowl in the freezer for 15 minutes.
• While the dough is chilling...
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees (F) and set a rack on the upper-middle level. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
• Once the 15 minutes are up...
• Gently stir the Greek yogurt, egg, chopped bacon, and jalapeno peppers into the flour mixture; the dough will be soft, sticky, and shaggy.
• Lightly flour your hands, then gather the dough into a ball. Transfer the dough to a well-floured surface and pat the dough out into a large rectangle approximately 1" inch thick. The dough will look very shaggy - not to worry!
• Use a small round biscuit cutter to cut out about 12 scones, reshaping the dough as needed and using scraps to form new rounds of dough. Place the scone cut-outs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space in between each one for spreading. Brush each scone with a little egg wash.
• Bake the scones for 18- 20 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown on top. Serve at once!
• Or just eat them straight off the pan like we do... with runny eggs and extra bacon on the side.

CHEDDAR JALAPENO MINI SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F.
• In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
• Add the cold butter to the bowl and using a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour. Continue until a crumbly consistency is produced. Stir in the grated cheddar and minced pickled jalapeno peppers.
• Pour the milk into the flour and stir together with your hands with a baking spatula until combined. Work gently and be careful to not over-mix the dough.
• Spread a little flour on a flat work surface. Dump the dough onto the floured work surface and pat down to make a 7 inch square. Cut into 4 quarters. Cut each quarter into 4 more quarters.
• Place wedges on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
• Bake for 14-16 minutes. The scones should be just starting to brown on top.
• They are the best served right away although they are very tasty served at room temperature.

CORN AND BLACK PEPPER SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, black pepper and salt.
• Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Using a fork, stir the creamed corn and beaten egg in to the flour mixture, just until blended.
• Spoon all dough onto the center of a large, ungreased cookie sheet.
• Using floured hands, shape/pat dough into a 9-inch round (dough will be sticky).
• Bake scones 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden.
• Remove from oven, transfer scones to wire rack to cool slightly (about 10 minutes).
• Cut round into 12 wedges and serve warm.
• To reheat scones: wrap loosely in tin foil and place in a preheated 350°F oven for about 15 minutes or until warmed.

BLACK BEAN AND CORN SALAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together black beans, corn, red bell pepper, red onion, avocado and cilantro; set aside.
• To make the dressing, whisk together lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, garlic, and seasonings. Drizzle over black beans and corn mixture and toss well to combine.
• Cover and chill salad in the fridge for at least one hour before serving.

CORN AND BLACK BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• Gather your ingredients so that you have everything close at hand on the counter or table.

CORN AND BLACK-PEPPER SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, black pepper, and salt. With pastry blender or 2 knives used scissor-fashion, cut in margarine or butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. With fork, stir cream-style corn and egg into flour mixture just until blended.
• Spoon dough onto ungreased large cookie sheet. With floured hands, pat dough into 9-inch round (dough will be sticky).
• Bake scones 20 to 25 minutes, until golden. Transfer scones to wire rack to cool slightly, about 10 minutes. Cut into 12 wedges and serve warm.

CHEDDAR AND PEPPER SCONES

Steps:

• Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt into a large bowl. Cut in the butter and cheese. Stir in the pepper.
• Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F and set a rack on the upper-middle level. Grease a heavy baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
• Gently stir enough buttermilk or yogurt into the flour mixture to make a soft, sticky dough. Gather the dough into a ball with your hands. On a well-floured surface, roll or pat the dough into an 12-x-8-inch rectangle approximately 3/4 inch thick. Try not to handle the dough too much, and don't worry if it looks rough.
• Using a large spatula or a couple of spatulas, transfer the dough to the baking sheet. Use a dough scraper or knife to cut the dough into 40 squares, each 1 1/2 inches. Separate the squares slightly on the baking sheet. Brush each square with a little milk. (Or cut circles out of the dough with the rim of a glass or a biscuit cutter and transfer them to the baking sheet.)
• Bake the scones for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are brown on the bottom and very lightly brown on top. Don't overbake; break one open to test for doneness. Transfer to cooling racks to cool briefly and then serve as soon as possible.
• To serve: The scones are still good when cool, but they are best when just out of the oven. Butter and scrambled eggs are appropriate accompaniments.
