Buttery Sesame Seed Scones recipe
While he still had his restaurant open, hubby was looking for little nibbles that we could make in advance and serve to customers who came in hungry and had a line in front of them before getting their food. One of the ideas we had was just house-made scones, so we looked up some scones recipes! This is adapted from a sweet scone recipe we found, but he eliminated the sugar and adjusted the recipe a bit, and also added lots of sesame seeds to it to make it a savoury scone instead. It's a similar technique to biscuits, but the fat/flour proportions are different, and there's no egg in the dough itself (though we do use an egg wash at the end).
These are really excellent, light, and flaky. They go well with butter, cheese, and even fruit jams and jellies. If you don't like/have sesame seeds you could probably use poppy seeds on this as well, or maybe even flax seeds or sunflower seeds. It doesn't require the seeds, we love them because they add flavour and texture, but it's all up to you.
