Sun-Dried
Tomato Herb Scones
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 teaspoons mixed dried herbs, like Italian seasoning or
herbes de Provence
2 teaspoons dried onion flakes, optional
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 cup butter, cut into pieces
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes marinated in oil, drained and chopped
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Sift flour, Parmesan cheese,
baking powder, sugar, herbs, onion flakes (if using), salt and
chili powder in a large bowl. With a pastry blender or two knives,
cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in
buttermilk, egg and sun-dried tomatoes until just moistened;
do not over mix. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and
knead until dough forms. Pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut
into triangles and place on a cookie sheet. Brush with a beaten
egg, if desired.
