Savoury Kale & Pumpkin Scones Recipe

By CHP Admin On

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. Set oven rack in the middle.

Step 2: Steam kale for a minute or two, just to blanch. Chop kale finely, squeezing out as much liquid as you can. You should have less than 1 cup of chopped kale. If you have more, save it for soup or eat it. (Too much will make the scones sticky.)

Step 3: Blend or sift the flour, salt, soda, baking powder and sugar together. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or your fingers.

Step 4: In a small bowl, beat the egg, then add the buttermilk, continuing to beat until well combined. Add egg/buttermilk mixture, along with squash, kale and cheese to dry ingredients, mixing with a fork just enough to combine.

Step 5: Drop by spoonfuls onto parchment-paper-covered cookie sheet. Bake about 20 minutes until lightly browned.
