I love scones. It’s one of my favorite baked goods. I’m not quite sure why. They aren’t very sweet, and they are heavy on the flour creating a texture that can be a little dry. But something about them is absolutely addicting to me.

I especially love cream scones because they tend to be more tender and are easy to make. To date, I’ve only attempted sweet scones. However, a post by A Work in Progress gave me the idea to try making a savory scone and also solve the problem of how to use up all the fresh rosemary and cheddar cheese I had laying around my house.

Having never attempted a savory scone, I was afraid about adding too much rosemary and cheddar, so I was a little light on both ingredients. I really loved how these scones came out though and I loved the flavor of the cheese and rosemary. Next time I will have to add more of both to these scones.

Cheddar and Rosemary Scones

Not all scones are sweet and these savory cheddar and rosemary scones, made with simple ingredients, are so tender and easy to make. I like to use my food processor to make the dough which doesn't take long at all. Just make sure your butter is very cold for the best results.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 5 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped rosemary

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt into food processor. Add the cubes of butter and blend in food processor for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the cream, cheddar, and rosemary and blend again for about 10-20 seconds until the dough comes together.
  • To make drop scones, take a handful of dough and shape into round mound. You can also make a large circle and cut the dough into triangles to form triangle scones. Place the scones on the baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the scones turn golden brown.
