Savory Scones Recipe
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Yield: 6 scones
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces pork sausage
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 2 cups buttermilk baking mix
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Optional: grated cheese for variation
Instructions:
-
Cook and Prepare: Begin by cooking the pork sausage and chopped onions in a skillet over medium heat until they are beautifully browned, ensuring to break up the sausage as it cooks. Once cooked, drain off any excess fat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
-
Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the buttermilk baking mix with the sausage and onion mixture. Then, pour in the milk and stir everything together with a fork until evenly moistened.
-
Shape the Scones: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Next, turn out the mixture onto an ungreased baking sheet. With floured hands, gently pat the mixture into an 8-inch round shape. Using a sharp knife, cut the round into eighths, creating the classic scone shape.
-
Add Seasoning: Sprinkle the dried oregano over the top of the scones, adding an extra burst of flavor.
-
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the scones for about 20 minutes, or until they are beautifully golden brown and cooked through.
-
Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool for about 5 minutes. Serve these savory delights warm, and get ready to enjoy a burst of flavors with every bite!
Tips and Variations:
- Cheesy Twist: For an extra indulgent variation, consider adding a sprinkle of grated cheese to the baking mix before combining the ingredients. This adds a creamy, cheesy goodness to your scones that is simply irresistible!
- Make Ahead: These savory scones can be made ahead of time and reheated before serving. Simply store them in an airtight container once cooled, and gently reheat in the oven or microwave when ready to enjoy.
- Serve with Accompaniments: These scones pair wonderfully with a variety of accompaniments such as butter, jam, or even a savory spread. Get creative and explore different flavor combinations to find your perfect match!
Indulge in the savory goodness of these homemade scones, perfect for any time of day whether it’s breakfast, brunch, or a delicious snack! 🥐✨
