Spicy Jalapeño Cheddar Scones

Preparación

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

3. 3

   Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. 4

   Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and diced jalapeños until evenly distributed.

5. 5

   Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Stir until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

6. 6

   Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together.

7. 7

   Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut the dough into 8 wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

8. 8

   Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
