Chorizo and Cheese Mini Scones

This is a great change of pace for an appetizer. If you love chorizo, (and who doesn't love cheese?) you'll love these bite sized morsels.

2 C. all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking soda
8 tbsp. unsalted butter, cold
1/2 C. sour cream, plus extra for dipping
1 egg
1 7 to 8oz. package dry chorizo, finely diced
1 1/2 C. shredded cheddar cheese
Whole grain mustard

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In a food processor, pulse together flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. In a small bowl, mix sour cream and egg. Add to food processor, pulse until almost combined. Add chorize and chesse and pulse until mixed. Dough will look crumbly.

On a lightly floured surface, pat dough into a square about 3/4 inch thick. Using a sharp knife, cut into 16 triangles and place on a lined baking sheet. Bake until golden, 12 to 14 minutes. Serve with a bowl of sour cream mixed with whole grain mustard.
