Garlic Scone With Black Pepper
Garlic Scone with Black Pepper is a savory twist on the classic British tea-time treat. While traditional scones are slightly sweet and served with jam or cream, this version brings in the bold flavors of fresh garlic and cracked black pepper — a warm, fragrant bite that pairs wonderfully with soups, salads, or just a hot cup of tea.This scone recipe is also softer and more moist than traditional versions, making it more approachable for those who find regular scones a bit dry. As they bake, your kitchen will fill with the rich aroma of roasted garlic and butter, making them almost impossible to resist.Whether you’re a fan of savory pastries or just want to try something new for brunch or snack time, these garlic scones are flavorful, satisfying, and absolutely delicious.
