INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups of all-purpose unbleached flour
  • 1 tbsp of sugar
  • 1 tbsp of baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
  • 1/8 tsp of salt
  • 11/2 cup of chilled unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • 3/4 cup of buttermilk
  • 1 cup of grated parmesan cheese
  • 6 slices of Capicollo Fantino&Mondello cut into chunks (around 4 slices total)
  • 1 tbsp of fresh oregano
  • ¼ cup buttermilk

PREPARATION

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F) and place the oven rack in the centre. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and pepper. Use a pastry knife to incorporate the butter until the texture resembles small peas. Add the buttermilk, parmesan, Capicollo and oregano. Mix together quickly by hand to form a dough ball without overworking the dough.
  3. On a floured surface, use a rolling pin to spread the dough until it resembles a disk with a 23 cm (9 in) diameter. Use a round cookie cutter with a 8 cm (3 in) diameter to form discs. Use a spatula to transfer the dough discs onto the baking sheet, spacing them apart.
  4. Pour the buttermilk into a small bowl.
  5. Use a pastry brush to coat the scones with buttermilk. Bake in the oven for approximately 18 minutes or until golden. Cool on a rack for a few minutes before serving.

TIPS

The oregano can be replaced with another herb of your choice: basil, rosemary, thyme, etc.
