These scones are fab!! This was my third attempt at finding a savoury scone recipe without cheese, that actually worked. I used a 2" cutter to make small ones to have with pre-dinner drinks. I piped a mix of Greek yoghurt, sundried tomatoes, chives, s&p and a squirt of tomato ketchup (can't remember where I found that recipe, but I added the ketchup to it to get more of a tomato flavour). They were delicious and my guests all loved them! Thanks!

Whole family loved these! Even DS, who has gotten burned out on sun-dried tomatoes. I cut mine in eighths, as we like more in smaller sizes than fewer large ones. Used all the ingredients as listed, but I also had just under a half pound of bacon to use up. So, I trimmed it, diced it & cooked it before adding to the dry ingredients along with the sun-dried tomatoes. Thanks for posting, GailAnn! Made & enjoyed for ZWT-6 Team Xtra Hot Dishes! :)

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
