Savory Scones With Carrots and Greens


Scones make a delightful start of a morning,quick to bake these light and flaky bread of British origin are apt for breakfast or any meal of the day.My DH(who can sniff out butter in any disguise) prefers these without butter,I'd bake these with Olive oil just for him.But in the following recipe I use butter ,as it was just for me and my boys,we do love butter once in a while and besides nothing can replace butter in these scones for a flaky texture.Vegans could use shortening but be mindful of the trans fat in it.And use Soy milk and tofu instead of milk and butter milk.
The fruity scones are popular treats for breakfast,but this savory version with fresh greens and lightly sweet carrots proved to be an equally lovable delight.
