Job 11:18-20
[18] And you will feel secure, because there is hope;
you will look around and take your rest in security.
[19] You will lie down, and none will make you afraid;
many will court your favor.
[20] But the eyes of the wicked will fail;
all way of escape will be lost to them,
and their hope is to breathe their last.”
2 c AP flour
1/4 c sugar
1 T baking powder
1/4 t salt
1/4 t coarse black pepper
1/4 dried chives
1 c shredded Gouda cheese
1/2 cup cold butter (1 stick put in freezer while oven preheats)
5-6 T milk
1 T fresh lemon juice
2 T whole psyllium husk
2 eggs, beaten
Coarse Black for sprinkling
In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Place butter in freezer.
Grate the cold butter.
Using fingertips, gently rub butter until it is covered with flour.
Do not over work just till combined.
Add cheese and chives.
In a separate bowl, combine the milk with lemon juice and let it stand for a minute or so.
Then beat eggs.
Add fiber.
Add the wet mixture to the flour and butter mixture.
Use a fork or spoon to roughly bring the dough together.
Divide
the dough into 2 equal portions; then, on a lightly floured work
surface, press each section into a 4-5" circle (about 1" thick).
Cut each into quarters, and place the cut scones onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
Brush with egg white.
Bake
at 400 degrees F for 12-15 minutes on middle bottom rack until the
edges are just lightly golden and the scones are nicely risen.
Sprinkle with black pepper.
