Scones are one my favorite baked goods, and I much enjoy baking and eating them! Not all scones are sweet like some think. A savory scone is similar to a flavored biscuit, but richer and more tender. I use my basic scone recipe and eliminate the sweetener, and add in herbs, spices, and cheese to make them savory. These Rosemary Lavender scones are delightful and make a perfect accompaniment to salad, soup, stews. They can be served for breakfast, brunch, or with dinner. I really enjoy the pungent flavor of the rosemary with a hint of salty lavender. These two flavors combined together remind of a spring. Rosemary Lavender Savory scones will elevate any meal, and are prefect to be served on special occasions such Mother's Day, a spring brunch, a wedding shower, or just because. These scones are made with almond flour, cream and butter making a tender, light flaky scone. They are rich in flavor, and the addition of lavender sea salt makes an amazing flavor profile in these savory scones. Using craft salts is fairly new to me and I'm learning these really bring my cooking and baking up a notch! I highly recommend you experiment with good-quality flavored sea salts.
