Recipe #27: Parsley Chive Scones

Posted by Unknown

This is by far my favorite scone recipe I have made from this book. Who knew I would like the savory scone over the sweet ones? This also smelled up the house with the most amazing aromas. I decided to make this recipe because I thought it would the perfect treat to bring to a cheese making party. My friends attended a class where they learned how to make blue cheese and fresh mozzarella and we were invited to finish the mozzarella process as well as be the taste testers.

Scone recipes are truly very simple to throw together. I would say the biggest challenge is just cutting them into equal sized wedges. I am getting better at it but it definitely takes practice. These turned out the best out of all the scone recipes in terms of flakiness. There were beautiful layers showcasing the chives and parlsey along with lemon zest and black pepper sprinkled throughout.

The cheese party was a success! It was so fun to finish the mozzarella process and taste the blue cheese they had made. They inspired me to take a class and learn the cheese making process. We then took the cheese and made homemade pizza's which was so fun! Pizza is one of my top five favorite foods; I would eat it everyday if there were no consequences.

Everyone enjoyed the scones, or atleast they told me they did to my face. They make a great pairing to eggs in the morning or with any type of meat at dinner.

To top off the cheese making party my girlfriend, Angela, surprised me with an early birthday cake from the Dahlia Bakery! Guess which kind? Ofcourse it was the Coconut Cream Pie, DELISH!
