Savory Cheese Herb Scone Recipe
Scones are quite easy to make and you can change them up to any type you would like to serve. Such as these savory scones that have cheddar cheese and some parsley and garlic and salt and pepper in. It gives them that little bit of a tang.
Eating them for a breakfast or serving them at tea time is normal. Bake them from cut out cookie cutters or as I do use a silicone muffin pan. Saves time and is so much easier.
What herbs go in savory scones?
Any herbs will do according to your taste. Dried or freshly chopped. Using oregano, rosemary and dill, as well as parsley and mixed Italian herbs.
What to avoid when making scones?
- Use cold ingredients, such as cold butter, eggs, milk or creams.
- using all purpose flour.
- do not overmix the dough.
- you must chill the dough before baking.
- bake them ahead of time.
Does scone dough need to rest?
It is said that a short rest relaxes the gluten and this way makes the scone tender. Chilling it lets the cold chill the fats making the scones more flakier. You can make scone dough ahead of time and wrap it up with cling wrap and leave in the fridge until used.
What type of flour is best for scones?
For the reasons above to chill your dough. Use pastry flour or dough. So when chilled makes the scones flaky when baked. This is why you would also chill the dough and use cold ingredients, Otherwise a all purpose flour would not need the dough to rest and you could bake them when mixed.
