INGREDIENTS

- All purpose flour - Kosher salt - Baking powder - Onion powder - Butter - Egg - Buttermilk

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Add 4 oz. of the cheddar, flour, salt, onion powder, and baking powder to the bowl of your food processor. Pulse 1-2 times to combine.

How to Make GREEN CHILE CHEESE SCONES

Cut the cold butter into 1 cm cubes and add them to the flour mixture. Process for 5 seconds or until you have small pea-sized crumbles.

Add the buttermilk, egg, and green chile. Pulse 3-4 times until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork.

Empty the food processor onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Knead the dough into a ball and press it down. Then, use your chef's knife to cut 8-10 even slices.

Separate the slices and distribute them around your baking tray. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the bottoms of the scones are golden brown.
