Spicy Avocado Scones: A Creamy Twist on a Classic

Unique Snack Recipe: Spicy Avocado Scones

Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that combines the creamy goodness of avocados with a spicy kick in a surprising twist on the classic scone. These Spicy Avocado Scones are perfect for a unique snack or a fun addition to any brunch spread. Let’s get started!

Ingredients:

• 300g all-purpose flour
• 10g baking powder
• 5g salt
• 50g sugar
• 5g chili powder
• 1 ripe avocado, mashed (about 200g)
• 1 jalapeno, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
• 180ml buttermilk
• 100g cold butter, cubed

Kitchen Tools:

• mixing bowl
• pastry cutter
• baking sheet
• rolling pin

To start, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and chili powder. Add the cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Next, stir in the mashed avocado, jalapeno, and cilantro until well combined. Gradually pour in the buttermilk, stirring until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle and use a round cutter to cut out scones. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.

Once baked, remove the scones from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These Spicy Avocado Scones are best enjoyed warm with a dollop of butter or a drizzle of honey.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 600g, with 12 servings. Each scone weighs approximately 50g. One serving of these Spicy Avocado Scones is around 200 calories.

Tip: For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of grated cheese on top of the scones before baking. The cheese will melt and create a delicious crust on the scones.

I hope you give these Spicy Avocado Scones a try and enjoy this unique twist on a classic snack. Feel free to customize the recipe with your favorite ingredients and make it your own!
