How to Make Appetizing Za'atar scones

Za'atar scones. Never did I ever think I'd take one of my favorite spice blends that I grew up on and combine it with a scone. If you've never heard of za'atar it's middle eastern blend of herbs and spices. To be specific, it's oregano, thyme, toasted sesame seeds.

With all my baking, you'd think I was a real sweet tooth, but I'm a lover of all things savoury. And za'atar, well, I'm all in on that stuff too. It's bloody delicious in all its herby goodness. You can have Za'atar scones using 5 ingredients and 4 steps. Here is how you cook it.

Ingredients of Za'atar scones

1. Prepare 2 cups of AP flour.
2. Prepare 1 tbsp of BP.
3. You need 5 tbsp of unsalted butter, chilled and diced small pieces.
4. Prepare 1 cup of heavy cream.
5. It's 1/2 cup of za'atar.

I sprinkle that stuff like green fairy dust onto soups and salads for a bit of punchy flavour, so it was always going to. Prepare a baking tray with baking paper. For the scones: Place the flours, baking powder, salt, sugar and zaatar in the bowl of a food processor. Add the butter in chunks and pulse the machine a few times until the butter no longer is visible and the mixture becomes like coarse sand.

And za'atar, well, I'm all in on that stuff too. It's bloody delicious in all its herby goodness. I sprinkle that stuff like green fairy dust onto soups and salads for a bit of punchy flavour, so it was always going to end up in some form of baked bready. After some experimentation, which is best forgotten, I finally decided on the savoury option of cheese scones filled with a swirl of the za'atar mix. Get Za'atar Recipe from Food Network.
