Savory Cheesy Chive Scones #BakingBloggers

By

This month, Sue of Palatable Pastime told the Baking Bloggers: "Share your favorite scones with us in March. Sweet or savory! Bonus points if you drop them off at my house." Here's our virtual scone shop...

Savory Cheesy Chive Scones 

As I usually do, my tastes lean to the savory side when I have an option. Though I have baked plenty of scones that are sweet such as: Candied Coffee Bacon and Cream Scones, Strawberry-Cream Scones, Double Buddha's Hand Scones, and Roasted Rhubarb Scones. This time I decided to go completely savory with shredded asiago cheese and chives.

Ingredients makes 8
  • 2-1/2 C flour + more, as needed
  • 1 T baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 C (1 stick) salted butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1 C buttermilk + more for drizzling
  • 1 C grated cheese (I used asiago cheese) + more for sprinkling
  • 2 T snipped organic chives + more for sprinkling

Procedure

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut the butter into the flour with a pastry cutter or food processor. Whisk in egg and combine with the buttermilk. Add to the flour mixture and stir until just moistened.

Stir in the cheese and chives and mix lightly. The dough will be very sticky. With floured hands, press the dough into a disc on your baking sheet or stone. Cut the disc into 8 wedges and pull them apart from each other.


Drizzle each scone with a spoonful of buttermilk.


Sprinkle each scone with about a teaspoon more of grated cheese.



Place in the oven and bake for 20 to 22 minutes until golden brown on the edges.


Serve immediately with a sprinkling of more snipped chives.


Next month the group will be back, sharing recipes that use herbs. Stay tuned...

    These look perfect to go with a hot bowl of Irish stew for St. Patrick's Day!

    I love cheesy scones! Or anything cheesy. Your scones look so tender and flaky.

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

By
photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

By
As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
