Pizza Scone Recipe (Great Lunch Idea)

Here is the Pizza Scone recipe I promised last week. I've had a bit of an insane week and have spent barely anytime in the kitchen.

This is a great idea for lunches. The kids love it. You can change it up and add ham and cheddar cheese instead of mozza/pepperoni/pizza sauce. It's quick and easy to make and takes less than half an hour start to finish. I often make this first thing in the morning when we realize that #2 son has forgotten to make bread the night before.

The kids loved this one so much my oldest son's football team requested a few of them for practise one day.

Pizza Scones
1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 cup white flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

2 teaspoons sugar

3 tablespoons margarine/butter

3/4 cup buttermilk

2 large egg whites

1 cup or so of cut up pepperoni, not in slices but cubed from the slices

1 cup (approx) shredded mozzarella cheese

pizza sauce

Mix all the dry ingredients together. Add the butter and mix it so it's kinda cornmealish Combine the buttermilk and egg whites together and add it to the dry mixture Add the pepperoni and cheese and mix again.

On a pastry board or whatever. Put down some flour, take the dough out and knead it a couple of times (about 4 times). Make sure it's lightly covered in flour. Shape it into a flat round circle and cut it into triangles but don't seperate the pieces (bake it as a circle)

Spray a cookie sheet with Pam and slide it onto sheet or cut it into triangles on the sheet) Brush pizza sauce over the top (not too much) and bake at 400 degrees for 20 min.

The one pictured above I sprinkled some extra mozza cheese on the top.
