Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Prepare the Balsamic Onions

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add 1 sliced onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar and a pinch of salt. Cook until the onions are caramelized and the liquid has evaporated, about 10 more minutes. Set aside to cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Kale

    Wash and chop the kale into small pieces. Steam lightly for about 2-3 minutes until slightly wilted. Set aside to cool.

Making the Scone Dough

  1. 3

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.

  2. 4

    Cut in Butter

    Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  3. 5

    Add Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

  4. 6

    Incorporate Mix-ins

    Gently fold in the chopped kale, grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and the cooled balsamic onions until evenly distributed.

Baking the Scones

  1. 7

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 8

    Shape the Dough

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut into wedges or use a biscuit cutter to cut out rounds.

  3. 9

    Bake

    Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Serving

  1. 10

    Cool and Serve

    Let the scones cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
