These savoury cheddar cheese scones are a delicious treat! Made with spelt flour and fine-cut oats and flavoured cheddar, saut\u00e9ed red onions and a little dried basil, they are quick and easy to make. And best yet, this scones recipe can easily be adapted to include your favourite savoury ingredients or made sweet!<\/p>\n

A basic scone recipe — make it savoury or sweet<\/h2>\n

Once you perfect a basic scone recipe, you can easily adapt it to make any kind of scones, whether savoury or sweet. For this recipe, there is no sugar added, but instead a little dried herbs and grainy mustard along with cheese and onions. For a sweet version, I skip these ingredients and add mascabado cane sugar (35 g) along with my favourite fresh or frozen fruit (1 cup). Voila, transformed from savoury to sweet.<\/p>\n

Tips for Making Scones<\/h2>\n

There are two things you must remember when making scones:<\/p>\n

1. Keep everything cold.
\n2. Don\u2019t overwork the dough.<\/p>\n

Start with cold ingredients. In particular the butter. It\u2019s important that the butter is cold, really cold as it keeps the fat crumbles intact. That fat melts when baked, creating a tender scone.<\/p>\n

You may be tempted to really work the dough, but less is more when it comes to scone making. In particular this scones recipe, since it is also made with spelt flour which has a sensitive gluten structure. So, work the dough until it JUST comes together.<\/p>\n

How to adapt this cheddar cheese scone recipe<\/h2>\n

These scones are perfect if you love savoury. The combination is fantastic. My favourite Schwabe was convinced that there was bacon in the recipe. Nope! They are vegetarian. But that doesn\u2019t mean you couldn\u2019t add a little bacon to this recipe. Or ham for that matter. Red onion could be switched out for chives which are also a classic with cheddar cheese. Not a fan of cheddar? Go with a Swiss cheese, Old Amsterdam or maybe Comte. Simply choose your favourite hard cheese. Scones are designed for mix-ins, making the possibilities endless.<\/p>\n
