Pepper Jack & Green Onion Mini Scones

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper (I use 1/4 tsp)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold, diced small
• 1/2 cup half-and-half cream, fat-free
• 3 eggs, large, save one for Egg Wash for top of scones
• 4 ounces monterey jack pepper cheese, diced small
• 3 green onions, sliced thin, both green and white parts

1. Preheat oven to 400u0b0. Spray mini scone pan with flour-added baking spray or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In small bowl, toss Pepper Jack Cheese and Green Onion with 1 Tablespoon of All-Purpose Flour and set aside.
3. In medium bowl, whisk together the All-Purpose Flour, Baking Powder, Cayenne Pepper (if using) and Salt.
4. 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.
5. Lightly beat (2) Eggs and the Half & Half with a fork and add it to the Flour mixture.
6. Add the Cheese/Onion mixture to the Flour mixture; use a wooden spoon to fold the mixture until it begins to come together.
7. Turn the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead gently for less than a minute.
8. 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.
9. Lightly beat the remaining Egg with one teaspoon water; generously brush the tops of the scones.
10. Bake 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
