Sometimes you have a bad day. Sometimes you have lots of bad days in a row. Then you have a good day, and its exciting and fun. That is what has just happened to me. I was starting to feel like there was a bit of a dark cloud following me around (only there wasn’t because its been 90 degrees L ) the last few weeks. I just have not been super excited about stuff. Then, BAM, the things I were overthinking and having anxiety about figured themselves out, and I got the air conditioner to stop making that funny and super annoying noise. ALSO! Jenny and I are both really excited about our book coming out next Tuesday. You can see some recipes and pictures here. YAY! WE ARE REALLY EXCITED OMG! Ok. Anyway, White Cheddar and Black Pepper Scones. Sometimes to get through the dark times, you need to shake things up and make savory scones. Sometimes you need to drink tea in the morning instead of coffee, sometimes you need to go workout until your butt is sore, and then eat 3 White Cheddar & Black Pepper Scones with butter. Sometimes you have to do it. Get to it!

Looks amazing with drizzling of honey!
These scones are sure to turn any sour day around!
All of a sudden, I’m starving! I’ve had scones on the brain all week but wasn’t thinking savory until now.
I like to freeze my scone dough for a couple of hours then pop them straight in the hot oven to ensure no butter melts out so that the croissants are moist and flaky.
If they help with the bad days I have to try them out! They musty be delicious!!
I want to make and eat these right now!!! :) Glad you got through a funk period. And congrats on the book – can’t wait to check it out
Your animations make me so stupid happy!
Beautiful your animation !!
wonderful!!
want to eat your plate !!!
congrats
I have been on a savory cheesecake kick lately, looks like I’m going to add savory scones! Looks like the perfect way to start a chilly fall morning.
These sound delicious!! I love scones – and to have a dinner scone – hmmmm! Thanks for sharing!
These look amazing and unique… I can’t wait to try them!
I love the sharpness of white cheddar. I used to eat white cheddar on black pepper triscuits all the time! Your scones look about 1 million times better than that poor-man’s combo!
Omg, Averie! That’s exactly where this idea came from! I love black pepper triscuits….esp with extra sharp white cheddar and a drizzle of honey! My favorite college snack, back in the day. I’m so happy this reminded you of that. :)
I am glad to hear you’re out of the funk! I’ve definitely been there, and can say that when that awesome day comes, the bad days fade into memory. Yay for the book release!! So excited for you (and for me!).
Heck yes! These sound awesome.
I loves me a good scone, and black pepper + honey has been on my flavor-combinations-to-try list for a while. Mind reader, you.
ANOTHER beautiful post and recipe! That honey wiggling on the scone in the animated pic… I giggled and drooled all at once. :) I can’t wait for the 9th either – tiny food party a go-go!!!
qui peut me traduire la recette ? thank u
who can translate the recipe ? i’m french, sorry… ;) that’s looks delicious !!!
Damn, these scones look amazing! Love all the photos and food styling!
Do you think you could chill the dough overnight & then bake in the morning?
Totally! (I wouldn’t refrigerate them for more then a day or two though, to ensure freshness)
Mmm! Those scones look delicious; then you added the honey on them and now they look out of this world.
looks delish!
How much butter do you use?
Totally forgot to add it…should be there now!
YUM. these sound amazing. i want one. with a beer.
mmm its like a gourmet cheeze it!
These sound very intriguing! I love the pairing of white cheddar and pepper, so unique!
looks so yum!
how do you make the honey butter?!
1 stick (1/2 cup) salted butter at room temp with 2-2 1/2 tbsp honey beat into it, until fluffy :)
yum, looks/sounds delicious, love the use of the gif :)
