This savory scone is great in the morning with your eggs and bacon. Packed with white cheddar cheese and a little onion can be made in less than 45 minutes.

1 cup buttermilk
1 egg
3 cups of all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup unsalted butter cut into 8 slices
2 cups White Cheddar Cheese (shredded 8 oz)
1/2 cup chopped green inions
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon Hot Sauce

Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees and spray two 1/2 sheet pans with vegetable spray

In a sauce pan add the green onions and teaspoon olive oil.  Saute until the onions begin to fall apart then set aside (2 -3 minutes). In a large bowl stir in the flour, baking powder, garlic and salt (set aside). Whip the egg into the buttermilk until incorporated (set aside). With a pastry blender cut in the butter into the dry mixture until it forms a crumble then stir in the cheese and onions. Add the egg mixture and hot sauce to the crumble, then mix by hand or with a fork until completely moistened. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 15 minutes until smooth. Roll the dough out to 1/2″thick  and cut into 2 1/2″ circles. Place the circles onto the prepared 1/2 sheet pans at least 1 ” apart. Brush each scone with a little buttermilk and bake for 15 – 20 minutes until golden brown.
