Ingredients:
1/2 avocado1/4 cup butter

Guacamole scones are a delicious twist on the traditional scone recipe, merging the creamy, rich flavors of avocado and cheddar cheese with a hint of spice from chili powder. This savory treat is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a unique snack option.
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the avocado until smooth.
- Add the butter to the avocado and mix until well combined and creamy.
- Beat the egg lightly, then add it to the avocado-butter mixture. Mix until integrated.
- Pour in the milk and stir until blended.
- In a separate bowl, combine the self-raising flour, chili powder, and baking powder.
- Stir in the grated cheddar cheese to distribute it evenly throughout the flour mixture.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the scones tough.
- Gently fold in the halved or quartered cherry tomatoes.
- On a lightly floured surface, turn out the dough and knead it lightly, just until it comes together.
- Pat the dough into a circle about 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick. Cut it into desired shapes using a biscuit cutter or a knife (triangles, squares, or rounds).
- Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
Tips:
- Ensure the avocado is ripe for a smooth, creamy texture.
- Use cold butter to achieve a flaky texture in the scones.
- Do not overwork the dough; mix just until the ingredients are combined to avoid tough scones.
- For an extra flavor boost, add in some fresh chopped cilantro to the dough.
- Serve the scones warm for the best texture and flavor.
- Try using different types of cheese or adding other ingredients such as bacon or jalapeños for a variation.
