Pepperoni Pizza Scones

Pizza+Scones=Perfection!

These scones are full of mini pepperoni, cheddar cheese, and mozzarella cheese. With these, you have yourself a portable pizza-like concoction. Pretty much perfect, I say.

We had these for lunch with a salad and some fruit, but I think these would be nice as a side or appetizer, and they are perfect dipped in some pizza sauce.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 T baking powder
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 2 T sugar
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/3 cup butter, cold
• 1 & 1/4 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 4 oz. package mini turkey pepperoni
• 1 cup milk

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, mix all your dry ingredients together. Grate in cold cheese, and then mix until you have a coarse, crumbly mixture.
3. Stir in pepperoni and cheeses.
4. Stir in milk until everything is moistened.
5. Put dough on a lightly floured surface, and knead a few times. Then pat your dough down in a circle until it’s about 1 & 1/2-inchs thick. Transfer dough to lined baking sheet, and cut into 8 wedges.
6. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned.
7. Serve with pizza sauce, and enjoy!
