Ingredients

Roasted Peppers:

  • 3 GREENHOUSE bell peppers
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

Scones:

  • 2cups all purpose flour
  • 1tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 1/2tsp baking powder
  • 1/2tsp salt
  • 1/4tsp black pepper
  • 1cup orange shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
  • 2/3cup cold buttermilk
  • 1 large egg, yolk and white separated

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or tin foil.
  2. Cut the bell peppers into quarters, then remove the seeds and membranes.
  3. Place the peppers on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle them with olive oil and use your hands to coat them well.
  4. Sprinkle the peppers with salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
  5. Roast until tender and charred in spots, about 20 minutes.
  6. Turn the oven to 400°F.
  7. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and pepper. Stir in shredded cheddar.
  8. Add the cold, cubed butter to flour mixture and cut in using a pastry cutter, a fork, or your hands. You want the mixture to be nice and crumbly. With no big butter chunks.
  9. In a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk and egg yolk. Pour over the flour mixture. Add your chopped red peppers and mix until everything is well combined, and dough clumps together. Dough will be sticky.
  10. Pour dough onto a well floured surface. Sprinkle some more flour on top of dough and on your hands. Shape dough into an 8 inch disc, using as much flour as you need to prevent dough from sticking to surface or your hands.
  11. Cut into 8 triangles, and place scones on a lined baking sheet.
  12. Brush tops of scones with egg white.
  13. Bake in oven for 22-25 minutes, or until scones start to turn a light golden brown. Serve and enjoy!
