Savory Herb & Cheese Scones

Craving for something savory.
  Something that will give you that feel good, comfort feeling. Then you are going to love this savory scone recipe. They are so good. When they're baking, the cheesy herb scents fill the  house. You start thinking, I can't wait till they are done and when they are, try not to burn your fingers getting one off the baking sheet. Oh, and have the butter ready to spread.
So, today I'm sharing a recipe for a savory scone. You can eat these plain or with butter. Serve them as your bread for dinner, lunch and breakfast.

Herb & Cheese Scone

Ingredients:
2 cups flour (I used all purpose)
1/8 cup sugar
1 tbs baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup cold butter, cut up small
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup shredded asiago cheese
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese(optional)
2 tbs italian seasoning(or your choice of herbs)

In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and butter with pastry blender or your hands until crumbly. Then add cheese and seasoning next add buttermilk. If texture is real dry add more buttermilk. I use a fork and pull all the ingredients together. You can make these two ways, drop style or wedge. For drop I use a large ice cream scoop.  Scoop the mix and drop it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.  You should get about 6-7 dropped scones. For wedge style, I gently form the dough into a ball then place it on a slightly  floured working area. Then I  take a rolling pin and roll it out  (in a circle shape) till about 1/2 inch thick( or your preference, I like mine thick).  Then you cut into wedges. Place on a baking sheet like mentioned above. You should get about 6-8 scones depending on how thick you made them.

Next bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes until done.  I like mine moist, so I undercook  them a little bit. When done baking, remove from oven and serve warm. You are really going to like these. You can change the cheeses and the herbs , experiment with the flavors.You can also change the size as well. Sometimes I make mini scones and use the mini scoop.
You can plate them on a platter, in a bread basket or on  side the main dish. Use your imagination and enjoy.

Remember, have fun and make it yours.

And that's the "DISH" for today!
