Description

These savory scones are a delightful twist on the classic tea-time treat, blending the earthy aroma of fresh rosemary with the intense, sun-dried richness of tomatoes. The buttery, flaky texture provides a perfect canvas for the bright, tangy flavors within. They are incredibly versatile, serving as an elegant appetizer for brunch or a hearty snack alongside soup or salad. Made with simple pantry staples like all-purpose flour, baking powder, and cold butter, this recipe is straightforward yet impressive. The addition of buttermilk ensures a tender crumb, while the optional fillings of smoked mozzarella or ham turn them into substantial party bites. Perfect for entertaining or a special weekend breakfast, these scones bring a sophisticated, homemade touch to your table.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  3. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or two forks until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
  4. Stir in the sundried tomato halves and chopped rosemary.
  5. Add the buttermilk and stir gently until the dough just holds together.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into two equal portions.
  7. Shape each portion into a ball and flatten gently into a disc about 1 1/2 inches thick.
  8. Cut each disc into six wedges, like cutting a pie.
  9. Place the scones on an ungreased baking sheet.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
