After making the Mediterranean Pasta, I realized I also needed to make breakfast for the week. Fortunately for me, I already had this recipe from Joy the Baker on my "to make" list. Plus, we tend to prefer savory scones, and these scones certainly qualify! Taking advantage of having just made the Mediterranean pasta, I had a lot of the materials out already. I also noticed I had some roasted red peppers I wanted to use.

I did find the dough a bit difficult to work with, but I think it's mainly due to me not usually working with this volume of dough at once. The recipe made 16 scones, so you may want to scale down. On the other hand, they're so tasty you may wish you scaled up instead!

Which scone flavors do you prefer - sweet or savory?
