Ingredients
Scale
Sausage & Cheddar Scones
1 cup Pork Sausage Links, cooked & crumbled
8 oz sharp white cheddar, grated
1 cup AP Flour
½ cup Bread Flour (optional- you can use all AP)
1 egg
½ cup milk
5 tbsp cold butter, cut into small pieces
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
Maple Butter
4 tbsp Salted Butter, Softened
3 tbsp Pure Maple Syrup
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Using a pastry cutter, a fork, or your hands, mix the butter into the flour mixture, working quickly so the butter doesn’t melt.
- Whisk the egg into the milk, then add to the flour mixture with the crumbled sausage and shredded cheese. OPTIONAL – reserve a few bits of cheddar and sausage to top each scone before baking.
- Combine until a shaggy dough forms, then pour out onto the counter. Form a dough round with your hands, using an extra sprinkle of flour if things get messy.
- Cut the dough into 8 even triangles, and transfer to a baking sheet.
- Preheat the oven to 400F. While it heats, chill the scones in the freezer for 15 minutes.
- If you saved any cheddar and sausage bits, top each scone with a small amount. Bake for 15 minutes, until golden brown.
- Serve with maple butter (mix 3 parts maple syrup with 4 parts softened salted butter) and enjoy! Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
