Pizza Scones
Description
The Pizza Scones recipe uses a combination of all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt as the base dry ingredients. Frozen butter is grated into the mixture to create a light, flaky texture in the scones. Cheddar cheese, chopped pepperoni, sun-dried tomatoes, and an Italian herb blend are then incorporated for flavor.
Buttermilk binds the ingredients into a soft dough that can be portioned onto baking sheets and baked at a high temperature to develop golden, puffed scones. The mix of salty cheese, spicy pepperoni, tangy tomatoes, and herbs ensures a complex savory profile.
These scones are best enjoyed fresh from the oven as a flavorful snack or side. They can be stored at room temperature for a couple days and can also be frozen for longer preservation and reheated as needed.
