Sundried Tomato and Basil Scones

Sundried Tomato and Basil Scones are a delicious and savory treat that are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a snack. These scones are made with a combination of sundried tomatoes, fresh basil, and other flavorful ingredients that make them a crowd-pleaser.

To make these scones, you will need the following ingredients:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/2 cup sundried tomatoes, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 egg, beaten

To begin, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chilled butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Next, add the chopped sundried tomatoes and fresh basil to the mixture and stir until evenly distributed. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and beaten egg. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently until it comes together. Pat the dough into a circle that is about 1 inch thick. Use a sharp knife to cut the circle into 8 wedges.
Place the scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm with butter or your favorite spread.
These Sundried Tomato and Basil Scones are a perfect combination of savory and sweet flavors. The sundried tomatoes add a rich, tangy flavor, while the fresh basil adds a bright, herbaceous note. The scones are light and fluffy, with a slightly crispy exterior that makes them perfect for dipping in your favorite spread.
