Sage Spiral Scones

These Sage Spiral Scones offer a comforting twist on traditional tea-time treats. By rolling the dough into a log and slicing it, you create beautiful concentric circles of fluffy pastry, bright green parsley, and melted cheddar cheese. The earthy aroma of fresh sage complements the sharpness of the cheese perfectly. They are ideal for a hearty brunch, a savory afternoon snack, or as an elegant side dish alongside a creamy soup. The texture is tender yet slightly crisp on the outside, with a soft, steamy interior. Simple to assemble with pantry staples, these scones provide a warm, homemade feel that guests will appreciate.
