Green Onion Scones with Smoked Salmon

Made these miniature scones to go with some smoked salmon I had on hand. Makes about 20 x 1/2" thick scones.

Green Onion Scones
- 3/4 cup AP flour
- 1.5 tsp baking powder
- dash of salt
- green parts from 3-4 green onion stalks, diced
- 3 Tbsp chilled butter, chopped
- 1 large egg, beaten
- a few teaspoons of cold cream

  1. Mix together the flour, baking powder, salt.
  2. Then add in green onions.
  3. Add in butter, and mix until it has a coarse crumb mixture.
  4. Stir in beaten egg.
  5. Add cold cream as needed so that dough comes together.
  6. Using a 1"-1.5" diameter round cutter, stamp out scones.
  7. Bake at 400 degrees F for 9-10 minutes.
  8. Let cool on wire rack.
  9. Cut off tops of scones.
  10. Dab with sour cream, add rolled smoked salmon, garnish with chive sprigs, and sprinkle with black pepper.


Here I am punching out scone rounds; admittedly, I should've made the scones thicker and larger in diameter.


The plating was a bit sloppy, but I finished early in the morning and was rather tired. Neighboring row has cocoa dusted fig meringues.
