SAVORY LEMON DILL PARMESAN SCONES



Savory Lemon Dill Parmesan Scones image

This is a savory, but not super-rich, scone recipe. I like the fact that I was able to whip these up with ingredients that I always have around the house. These are a nice addition to breakfast/brunch/lunch, as a side with dinner (poultry or fish would be a good companion), or for a snack. They're pretty good for entertaining if you want to make more than one batch at a time.

2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons dried dill
¾ teaspoon salt
½ cup chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Basil & Parmesan Scones image

Scones, spread with preserves or honey, have long been known as a sweet breakfast or tea-time treat. But savory scones, made with herbs and cheese instead of sugar and fruit, are the perfect lunchtime accompaniment to soup, stew, chili or a salad. Easily prepared, quickly baked and sturdy enough to throw in a lunch bag, scones are a neat way to help you fulfill your grain requirement on the food pyramid.

  • Turn dough onto a well-floured surface and pat into a 1/2-inch-thick rectangle.

STRAWBERRY AND BASIL SCONES



Strawberry and Basil Scones image

My first taste of a truly delicious scone was in a tiny cafe in Totnes, England. That day I savored Devon cream tea, which is a pot of English tea, warm scones, clotted cream, and freshly-made strawberry jam. I was hooked! I hope you enjoy these sweet and savory scones as much as we do.

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup white sugar

1 cup buttermilk

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect scone texture, ensure that the butter is cold and grated. This will help create flaky layers in the scone.
  • Do not overwork the dough. Overworking will result in tough scones. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • For a richer flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Pre-packaged shredded cheese often contains additives that can alter the taste.
  • Fresh basil is recommended for this recipe. Dried basil can be used, but it will not provide the same vibrant flavor.
  • To prevent the scones from sticking to the baking sheet, line it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Keep an eye on the scones while they are baking. They should be golden brown on top and cooked through in the center.

Conclusion:

These Parmesan and basil scones are a delightful combination of savory and herbaceous flavors. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light lunch. With their tender crumb and flaky texture, these scones are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So why not give this recipe a try and enjoy a taste of Italy in your own kitchen?
