Summer’s Bounty

If you are planning on planting a garden you may wish to start with just 1 zucchini plant or else be prepared to add zucchini to just about everything, and I mean EVERYTHING! My garden has exploded and I have summer squash plants, so needless to say we feel like Forest Gump over here…chocolatey zucchini muffins (recipe here)…zucchini fries (recipe here)….grilled zucchini…zucchini pasta sauce….zucchini soup….zucchini in casseroles….zucchini in minestrone soup (a favorite for sure)….zucchini bread (recipe here)…zucchini pancakes…zucchini Zucchini ZUCCHINI!  Well, I went to my garden and low and behold I have this to show for it

and 10 more growing!

Today, I decided to make savory scones with my summer bounty, and folks, let me just say these are delicious!  I wanted to focus on the recipe foundation before playing around with spices and herbs. The foundation is solid, and from this recipe you could add in variations from chopped onions, different cheeses, garlic, thyme, lemon zest…you get the picture! Trust me! Next time you dish up a pot of minestrone soup or fresh gazpacho these scones would add a zing to the meal, or opt for a breakfast hash of eggs, potatoes, and sausage with these on the side, too! Sky is the limit!

Savory Zucchini Scones

Ingredients: 

• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¾ cup grated mozzarella
• ½ cup buttermilk (or whole milk with 1 teaspoon lemon juice)
• 1 egg
• 1 medium zucchini, grated & squeezed dry in a towel

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees (200 decrees celsius) for convection ovens or 400 for conventional.
2. Stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and mozzarella.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together buttermilk and egg.
4. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients into the center and stir. Mixture will be more like a biscuit.
5. Stir in the zucchini and use your hands to pull the mixture together.
6. Make a 1 inch thick circle and cut into 8 wedges (see video).
7. Place wedges on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes or until fully cooked through. Serve these scones with a whipped garlic butter hot out of the oven!

Freezer options: Freeze these for later, either raw or cooked. If raw, bake straight from the freezer (don’t defrost) and roll them out a bit thinner.
