Savoury scones your way!

These scones are not biscuits first of all! They are so much crumblier and can take any add-ins that you want. I did mine with two different ways here, plain cheese and with cranberries and bacon,  you can choose what you like and mix into your base. Replace the optional ingredients with cheeses and veggies you like! You have the perfect addition to your meal or alone as a snack! I also cut mine into small rounds so they’re more bite sized.

[directions title=”Directions”]

  1. Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2.  In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika. Add dry mixture into a food processor along with diced cold butter and process until a course crumb like texture is achieved.
  3. Add processed mixture back into the mixing bowl and stir in the grated Parmesan, cheddar cheese, cranberries, caramelized onions, bacon, and chives. Add about 3/4 cup of the buttermilk to the flour mixture and stir just until the dough starts to come together. Add more buttermilk, if needed.
  4. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead the dough gently until it comes together. Form into a 8 inch round. Use a 2 inch round biscuit cutter to cut the dough into circles. Place the scones on the baking sheet. Brush the tops of the scones with the remaining butter milk.
  5. Bake for about 15- 18 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and leave to cool on a wire rack. Best served warm.
