Baking Recipe: Savoury Onion Scones & Back from Krabi


Hi peeps! It seems like forever, that I've not blogged on my next post. Well my fault and I'm sorry as I had to clear most of my work before heading off for a short beach vacation with my best buddy. Where did we head to? We went away soaking up the sand, sun and sea. Jealous yet? LOLs.. A much needed short trip, to be away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Not to worry, I did my level best to take as many photos to share them with you. Hopefully I didn't lose you folks over the past weekend.

Now, where were we? My colleague recently kept talking to me about some savoury onion scones she had for breakfast that were ultra delicious. And that made me really want one to myself too. Well, I could have just run out and grab it from a nearby bakery, but I thought how can that be satisfying. [I baked them before going away on vacation..if you're interested to know].

Instead, I decided to give it a try to bake my own scones, and not just any ordinary scones.. they were Savoury Onion Scones. You might cringe by just thinking? However, it's not heavily infused with onion taste. Well I think I am suppose to used chives; but I ended up using 1 large white onion, sweating the onions, saute it for a bit and adding some dried mix herbs. It just have the right hint of buttery onion taste and goes perfectly with Boursin, Cream Cheese, Sour Cream and Onion Dip, Curry Chicken or even on it's own. Yes folks, there are endless ways to eat this ultra fluffy and light Savoury Onion Scones.

Things to work on? I feel I can further improve on my scones, so do stay tune. Can't wait to share with you my Krabi photos. Stay tune okay? It'll be maybe the next upcoming posts...

  2. These scones sound amazing! I don't think I've ever had a savory scone actually, but I do enjoy onions and a hot scone with some cream cheese sounds so good for breakfast right about now! Btw, I added you to my blogroll, I hope that's okay!!

  3. Wondeful idea. My family likes savory scones instead of the sweet version. So this will complement my scones recipes for them.
    Thanks for sharing.

  4. Hi Jo-So glad you had such a great time on your mini vacation that was much needed to get away on a fun sand and beach holiday:DDD
    Will be e-mailing you as well, later!
    Your scones look so tempting and totally incredible. Love the onions, and especially the shape of it that can pass for biscuits. The egg wash makes it look so pretty! Now, instead of eating it with jam...cream cheese sure makes it tast yummy!
    Hugs to you!
