cheesy garden scones

Extra pesto is one of the best things in the world to have. This morning, I had virtually nothing in my refrigerator but some butter, a little cheese, pesto and milk. Sounded like scones to me!

{makes 6 scones}

2 C flour
3 T spinach & poblano pesto {see recipe}
3/4 stick of salted butter
1/2 t freshly cracked pepper
2 oz grated cheddar cheese {or whatever}
1/2 t baking powder
1/4 t salt
~1/2 C milk

{preheat your oven to 400 degrees}

Combine the flour, salt, pepper & baking powder. Cut in the butter until the mixture looks like coarse bread crumbs. Mix in the cheese and pesto. Gradually add milk until the mixture turns into a dough that holds together but is not wet.

Scoop out ~1/4 C of mixture at a time and place in a non-stick baking surface. Bake for 20 minutes or until bottoms are golden and tops are just starting to brown.
