Scones - they’re a little pastry that’s usually served for breakfast or brunch, but they make a really nice afternoon snack as well. In the UK, scones come in a circular shape, and they’re light and fluffy. They are basically the same thing as what Americans know as a “biscuit.”. Scones can be sweet and savoury, and today its savoury cheese scone recipe for tender, moist, buttery scones that are so quick and easy to make!
This savory scone is packed with cheese. It is delicious on its own or cut in half and spread with butter. . Sometimes I use this scone to make a Breakfast Biscuit. Just cut the scone in half and fill it with a fried egg. You can also add a slice of tomato, a slice of avocado, and/or some lettuce.
You could add some crumbed sausage, or cubes of cooked any processed meat. For the cheese, I have used grated parmesan and cheddar but you can use either one or gouda, or other hard cheeses can be used. Lastly, finely chopped green onion or chives can be used instead of parsley.
Buttermilk has a thick creamy texture with a rich tangy buttery taste that gives the scones a moist and bread-like texture. You can make a good substitute for buttermilk by stirring 1 tablespoon of vinegar into 1 cup of whole or reduced fat milk. Let stand at room temperature for about 10 minutes before using. Another option is to use buttermilk powder which can be found in some grocery stores or in specialty food stores.
They’re just slightly crisp on the outside, buttery on the inside and full of cheesy flavor. The slight warmth of the paprika makes them incredibly satisfying and the perfect side for soups or stews with milder flavors. I almost always pair them with classic chicken noodle and my Chicken Corn soup to round out the meal. They really take whatever dish you serve them with and level it up in a big way.
