Mini Sage Onion Scones Recipes

MINI SAGE & ONION SCONES

Steps:

• Heat oven 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Heat the oil in a pan and cook the onion for 5 mins until soft, then set aside to cool. In a food processor, pulse the flour and butter together until the mixture looks like crumbs, then add the sage, cooled onion and enough milk to make a soft but not sticky dough. Tip out onto a floured surface, knead briefly, then roll out to 1cm thickness. Using a 1.5cm cutter, stamp out mini scones. Brush tops with egg, put onto a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 mins until risen and golden.
• To serve, split the scones, spread each side with cranberry sauce, then sandwich together with the turkey.

APPLE & CHEDDAR MINI SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°. In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In another bowl, whisk egg, yogurt and 2 tablespoons milk; stir into crumb mixture until just moistened. Stir in apple, cheese and sage., Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead gently 10 times. Divide dough in half; pat each portion into a 6-in. circle. Cut each circle into 8 wedges; cut each wedge in half., Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets. Brush tops with remaining milk; sprinkle with sugar. Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

CHEDDAR & SAGE SCONES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Mix the flour, mustard powder, ½ tsp salt and a grinding of black pepper in a large bowl. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in half of the cheese and the sage. Mix together the egg and buttermilk in a separate bowl.
• Make a well in the centre of the flour mix and pour in all but ½ tbsp of the buttermilk mix. Working quickly, stir until the mixture forms a soft, spongy dough. Tip onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly until smooth. Roll out to a 3cm-thick square. Cut into quarters, then half each quarter diagonally, so you have 8 triangles. Place the scones on a floured baking tray, brush with the remaining buttermilk, sprinkle over the remaining cheese and top each with a sage leaf. Bake for 12-14 mins until they are well risen, golden and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. Eat while still warm, spread with butter.

PEPPER JACK & GREEN ONION MINI SCONES

• Preheat oven to 400°. Spray mini scone pan with flour-added baking spray or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In small bowl, toss Pepper Jack Cheese and Green Onion with 1 Tablespoon of All-Purpose Flour and set aside.
• In medium bowl, whisk together the All-Purpose Flour, Baking Powder, Cayenne Pepper (if using) and Salt.
• Use a pastry blender, two knives or your fingers (my preference), cut the Butter into the Flour mixture until the butter is pea-size and the flour is silky.
• Lightly beat (2) Eggs and the Half & Half with a fork and add it to the Flour mixture.
• Add the Cheese/Onion mixture to the Flour mixture; use a wooden spoon to fold the mixture until it begins to come together.
• Turn the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead gently for less than a minute.
• Separate into 4 equal parts and pat each one into a portion of the Nordic Ware Mini Scone Pan. Or, pat dough into a 3/4 to 1-inch thick circle or rectangle and cut into desired shapes.
