Savoury scones: enjoy them any time of day<\/h2>\n

Growing up in Canada, I am well familiar with scones which are served at breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner. Whether sweet, savoury or simple, scones make for a great snack after a hike in the mountains, when sitting in a cafe with a coffee, or any other time when you are looking to refuel with something delicious. You can enjoy them warm and spread them with a little butter, at room temperature with both butter and jam, or simply enjoy them as they are.<\/p>\n

Scones versus biscuits<\/h2>\n

Scones are very similar to baking powder biscuits, but are a little more crumbly (but not dry, which is often a fine line). The main difference however is that scones have an ingredient that biscuits don\u2019t have and that is: egg. Biscuits whether plain or with herbs, are also a family favourite in Canada, whether served with jam for an afternoon treat, or along side a hearty stew or gravy in the evening. Both are relatively easy to make, while scones being my favourite as it is easy to swap in and our fillings, or transform them into a sweet treat.<\/p>\n

\nScones made with spelt flour and oats<\/h2>\n

I stay true to my favourite base recipe for scones, which includes fine-cut oats and spelt flour, rather than regular wheat flour. The oats give it some extra goodness and added structure that you don\u2019t get from a straight flour mix. I\u2019ve also used mixed fine oats that contain linseed, sesame seeds, and sunflower seeds \u2014 and really love this.<\/p>\n

The best scones depend on the ingredients and how you prepare them:<\/h2>\n
