Directions
Basil & Parmesan Scones, Scones, spread with preserves or honey, have long been known as a sweet breakfast or tea-time treat But savory scones, made with herbs and cheese instead of sugar and fruit, are the perfect lunchtime accompaniment to soup, stew, chili or a salad Easily prepared, quickly baked and sturdy enough to throw in a lunch bag, scones are a neat way to help you fulfill your grain requirement on the food pyramid , Was ready to make some cornbread to go with homemade chili the other day, but when I spotted this recipe, I just knew it would make a wonderful replacement for that bread, & it was! Absolutely delicious! Made according to your recipe, using the buttermilk & cut small, these were great little tasties! Many thanks for sharing this great keeper of a recipe! [Made & reviewed in Went to the Market recipe tag], These were really fantastic! They rose beautifully, and responded well to my using all whole grain flour I was a little bit short on parm but it didn’t negatively impact the result I halved the recipe and got 10 decent sized scones to dip in soup DS thought they were great with butter; I thought the buttery taste was already there Thanks so much for posting this keeper!
