Biscuits and scones are a big favorite in my household and I am always on the lookout for new ideas. Regular readers will know I like some spice in my life and so I immediately bookmarked this recipe from Smitten Kitchen. I have so many bookmarked recipes and cookbooks and never can seem to keep up, but I am certainly glad I baked up these little delights. I served these delicious scones with a cheesy Greek Mac and Cheese dish.
Jalapeno Cheddar SconesMore savory biscuits and scones you will be sure to enjoy from Lisa's vegetarian kitchen:
2 cups of unbleached white flour
1 tablespoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon of sea salt
8 tablespoons of butter (1 stick)
1/2 cup of heavy cream
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups of extra old cheddar cheese
2 jalapeno peppers, minced
dash of cayenne
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or grease the baking sheet with butter.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Cut the butter into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter or a knife and fork until the butter is reduced to small crumbs.
Beat the eggs together with the cream and pour into the flour mixture. Stir until just combined. Fold in the cheddar and the jalapenos, along with a dash of cayenne pepper.
Shape into roughly 1 1/2 inch rounds and bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for roughly 20 - 25 minutes or until golden brown.
Yields approximately 10 scones.

I too love the bits of green - and the lovely dashes of spice! :-)
oooh i like the fieriness of these scones. yum!
I never can cope with as much spice as you but I love your scones and biscuits and am hoping to try this recipe with a bit less spice - am quite interested in the cream in these scones as well as all the lovely cheese
Those sound like the perfect mix of rich, tender and spicy--the type of biscuit I love. (Well, anything spicy, I love!). And I know what you mean about not keeping up with recipes--I'm bookmarking this one, and hope I get to adapt it asap!
I am not a chilli lover....but that scones look so beautiful and tempting will surely try it with out the jalapeno..:)
Always Love the combo of jalapeno and cheddar.The scones look beautiful and extremely cheesy.
These scones sound wonderful.
Scones look awesome and tasteful...havent yet tried scones...your recipe seems easy to follow...thnx for sharing!
I love jalapeño peppers and have been known to make a half gallon of salsa with a lot of those! But I have never tried scones or biscuits and it does look good especially with that cheddar cheese!
Delicious scones! rich and fluffy!
Love the combo in the scones and yes Vidhu Mittal is one of my favorites too.
