The original recipe called for 1/3 cup jam as the only sweetener, I substituted mango ginger chutney resulting in a delicious savory scone.

I've no idea really about baked savory trends. <BR/><BR/>Johanna;<BR/><BR/>This is the first time I have made wedge shaped scones / biscuits. Sometimes I shape them into circles and sometimes I drop the dough onto the baking sheet. <BR/><BR/>The butter I almost always grind into bits using a <A HREF="http://dcfud.smorgasblog.com/userimages/pastry%20cutter.JPG" REL="nofollow">pastry cutter</A>, though rubbing the butter in with your hands achieves a similar purpose. The idea is to distribute the butter throughout in small pieces. I think using your hands to cut in the butter would add heat to the batter and the ideal chemical reaction is achieved using cold ingredients. Each cook has their own preferred method though.<BR/><BR/>Jan, I have no experience with spreads, but you might try using some oil in place of the butter, though I doubt you would get the same flaky pastry quality.Lisa Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596930753946940084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5498332469430544166.post-17202202539803024372008-03-30T02:00:00.000-04:002008-03-30T02:00:00.000-04:00I don't use butter, so what would be a good spread...I don't use butter, so what would be a good spread for these?

I love scones too and would love these as a snack or with dinner! <BR/><BR/>But I was wondering do you ever use your hands to rub the butter into the flour - that is the way I was taught and always do and I just can't envisage how you would do it with a fork and I don't even know what a pastry cutter is. <BR/><BR/>I also notice the a lot of scones in America seem to be cut in wedges whereas I learnt to make them by cutting out circles with a glass or a cutter! Is wedges the traditional American way as I seem to see lots of wedge shaped scones rather than round ones in American posts? (you see I am interested in how we do things differently as well as the names!)Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5498332469430544166.post-71268000964873102452008-03-29T16:31:00.000-04:002008-03-29T16:31:00.000-04:00I actually prefer sweet over savory as well.
