I have a treat for you today. Buttery, flaky scones studded with sun dried tomatoes and fresh herbs. These Tomato and Herb Scones are amazing!
Scones are ridiculously easy to make. Basically, they are just biscuits with more cream and butter. Normally I make sweet ones like these:
But these savory ones were great for breakfast, snack and even along with dinner one night.
I used fresh chives from my garden because the basil is about an inch high right now and I wasn’t in the mood for rosemary. All three would be great individually or all together or any fresh herbs you’d like.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine flour, salt, baking powder and sugar in a medium bowl.
- Cut in the butter and mix until crumbly. Mix in tomatoes and herbs.

Until next time, happy eating!

Your scones sound delicious! Love that they have chives.
It was either chives or rosemary since the other herbs aren’t up in my garden yet. I really do need to use chives more.
These scones are lovely and they just scream Spring to me.
Thanks, Wendy. They screamed “Eat me” to me, so I did. ha ha!
Haha……
