    Scones are tender, buttery, and flakey pastries. Thanks to their simple structure, they are versatile and can be sweet and savory. Sweet scones are perfect alongside coffee or tea, while savory scones are a delicious accompaniment to soup or even breakfast. Within this post, you will find 10 Sweet and Savory Scone Recipes. Recipes include fruit, cheese, fresh herbs, nuts, and chocolate.

    Contrary to what you may think, making scones from scratch is easy and rewarding. Scones can be eaten any time of day. The dough's high-fat cream and butter are a blank slate for an added sweet and savory flavor. The baking process is quick and straightforward using the "biscuit mixing" method.

    If you want to make some scones, check out the list below. There are both sweet and savory options. I chose a variety of flavors so that there is something for everyone. All recipes include staple ingredients and are all made through a simple baking process. I am sure you will find the recipe you are looking for! See all of our Scones for the full [email protected]

    The "Biscuit Mixing" Method

    While it may sound intimidating, the biscuit mixing method is easy. There is little mixing required and generally few ingredients.

    First, you combine the dry ingredients. This includes flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. You then "cut in" the butter. This process can be done by hand with a pastry blender (which I prefer) or in a food processor. Next, you add the inclusions. And then, finally, you add the liquid (cream or milk, sometimes eggs). To form a dough, gently knead the mixture until it appears to have a doughy appearance, do not over-mix. Cut or portion the dough as desired. For best results, chill the portioned scone dough before baking. Always brush the dough with cream or egg wash and then bake.

    FAQ

    What is the secret to a good scone?

    A good scone has a soft, moist interior and a golden-brown exterior. The texture should be tender and flakey, with a crumb. It should not be burdensome or bread-like.

    What is the difference between a scone and a biscuit?

    While similar in texture and made with the same mixing method, scones and biscuits are slightly different. Primarily, you will find differences in the quantity of the ingredients (think sugar and butter). Scones are generally made with cream and more sugar and often include eggs. WAt the same time, biscuits have more butter and less sugar and are typically made with buttermilk. Additionally, you are much more likely to see a sweet scone and a savory biscuit.

    Are scones sweet or savory?

    As you will see within this list, scones can be sweet or savory. American scones are sweeter; often, you'll find some sugar in the savory ones too. Sweet scones have a variety of flavors, from fruit to chocolate. While delicious scones frequently contain cheese or fresh herbs.
