Description
Looking for something hearty but different? Pork and Kale on Cheese Scones delivers cheesy, savory goodness that’s perfect for any meal. How would you make this dish your own?
Ingredients
Cheese Scone Ingredients:
- 3 1/2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- A pinch of salt (optional)
- 150 ml butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 2 cups grated cheese
- 2 cups milk
Pork and Kale Topping:
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 1/2 cups ground pork
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- A pinch of pepper
- 1 small bunch of kale, finely chopped
Instructions
Scones:
- Heat your oven to 375°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt (if using) into a large bowl. Stir them together.
- Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture looks crumbly.
- Toss in the garlic, onion powder, and cheese. Stir to combine.
- Make a little well in the middle of the dry mix and pour in the milk.
- Gently mix everything until it just comes together. Don’t overdo it; keep it light.
- Divide the dough into 10 big biscuit shapes and place them on the baking sheets. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until they’re lightly golden on top.
Topping:
- While the scones are baking, heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the butter and sliced onion, cooking until the onion softens.
- Add the ground pork to the pan and cook until it starts to brown.
- Stir in the soy sauce, Italian seasoning, onion powder, and pepper. Let it cook a little longer until the pork is nice and golden.
- Toss in the chopped kale, give it a quick stir, and then take the pan off the heat. The heat from the pan will soften the kale without overcooking it.
How to Serve:
- Cut a scone in half and pile on a hearty scoop of the pork and kale mixture.
- Add some fresh slices of tomato, onion, and lettuce for crunch.
- If you’re feeling fancy, drizzle on a little HP Sauce for a tangy kick.
- These scones are perfect for brunch or a cozy dinner. The cheese adds just the right amount of richness, and the pork and kale topping are flavorful and satisfying. If you’re into bold, hearty flavors, this might just become your new favorite meal.
- Give it a try and see if it doesn’t make your kitchen smell amazing!
