Cheddar-Dill Scones

September 24th, 2009

Since autumn officially arrived two days ago, my body has already started to crave warm comfort food. Unfortunately, nothing but ice cubes is comforting in the kind of heat wave we’re experiencing in L.A.; so last night I cranked up the air conditioner and made cheddar-dill scones (recipe here). I had never had savory scones before, but they were moist and flaky and the sharp cheese complemented the aromatic herbs wonderfully. Perhaps I went a bit overboard pairing them with scalding soup, but the seasonal combination was simply too tempting to pass up.

I am jealous of the food you eat. It looks so freaking yummy. My bf and I are on this strict paleo diet and bread is something I haven’t had in months. It’s calling my name…

It’s a curse to look at your blog before breakfast. I’m now drooling and wishing I had a scone of my own. Haha, nicely done and thanks for the recipe!

my new favorite recipe for whenit’s fall and I want to bake but it’s still warm enough for flip flops: salted oatmeal cookies. (It’s on page 150 of the America’s Test Kitchen Family Baking Book.) I’m not sure which I like more, these or Smitten Kitchen’s margarita cookies. But these oatmeal ones are super easy and perfect on an early fall day.
I love those scones (frankly, almost anything Ina Garten makes is delicious), so I thought you might enjoy these cookies, too.
Love your site!

The minute I saw these I knew these were from Barefoot Contessa. She’s my idol, I swear. There are times when I’m watching her show and wish I was Jeffrey!

Unspoken Controversy
blimey, never had savoury scones?
in england cheesy flakeyness is a daily necessity
though the dill is a rather sophisticated touch
let autumn soup commence

I actually made those and they are super!!!!

I tried it yesterday. They taste amazing but they are quite dry! Was it the same with yours? Do you have any recommendations for me ?
