Drool… These scones are SO good. I’ve had this recipe on my mind for a while now and I was dying to make it. It was just too hot to use the oven all summer. The moment the outside temperature dropped by just a slight bit, I instantly turned on the oven to make these puppies.
I figured out an interesting way to roast a red pepper inside the house, with out using the oven! I don’t remember exactly where I saw this idea… on some show on Food Network I think. First of all, you need a stove with gas burners. What you do is place the pepper directly on the burner and turn the flame on high. Get some long BBQ tongs and turn the pepper often, until all sides are evenly roasted and black. Once it cools enough to handle, take a butter knife and scrape off all or the black burnt part, and there you have a delicious roasted pepper.
