Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into cubes and chilled
  • ⅓ cup buttermilk
  • 3 large eggs, divided
  • 1 cup grated carrot (from about 2 carrots)
  • ½ cup finely chopped kale
  • ⅓ cup diced bell pepper
  • ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Tomato Cream Cheese Icing (recipe below)
  • 1 Tbsp finely chopped chives

Tomato Cream Cheese Icing

  • 8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 large tomato, peeled and finely chopped
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup milk or heavy cream

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. 
  • Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter or fork (or your hands), until pea-size pieces form with some larger chunks remaining. 
  • In a separate small bowl, whisk together two of the eggs and the buttermilk. Add to the flour mixture and stir with a wooden spoon just until the mixture begins to come together. Add carrots, kale, peppers, and feta and stir until just combined.
  • On a lightly floured surface, gently knead the dough a few times. Then using your hands, form a circle about ¾" thick. Slice dough into 8 triangles.
  • Gently whisk the remaining egg in a small bowl. Brush egg wash over each scone and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake scones for 20-23 minutes until turning golden on top.
  • Let cool for a few minutes before spreading Tomato Cream Cheese Icing over the top. Sprinkle with chopped chives.

Tomato Cream Cheese Icing

  • Using a hand mixer or a whisk, beat cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth. Add diced tomato, pepper, and salt and beat until combined.
  • Add milk or cream to bowl ¼ cup at a time, beating well after each addition.
