Rustic Savory Scones

Scones with a savory twist replacing sugar with grated aged cheddar and fresh herbs. Flour adjusted down by 20%, baking powder swapped for baking soda plus buttermilk instead of milk to activate leavening. Butter remains cold, cut in small cubes for flaky texture. Dough rested briefly to relax gluten but not over-kneaded. Baked till golden brown, cracked crust audible when tapped. Serves 8. Versatile—swap cheddar with feta or herb mix with spices like smoked paprika. Ideal for brunch or snack with cream cheese or warmed soup.
