For me, the best thing about scones is their versatility. Not everyone enjoys a sweet snack, some lean more towards savory snacks and scones can be both sweet and savory. I usually love my scones served with homemade jam or with butter and trust me your family will love it too. So, if you are considering whipping up some scones for your family then you should check out our list of 7 best scones to make today. 

Buttermilk scones

There is no perfect time to serve these tasty delights but I personally love them as breakfast scones. But if you want you can also serve them as an afternoon or evening snack. The best thing about these scones is that they are very easy and fast to make. You will just need 10 minutes of oven time and you will be left with a perfect batch of puffy golden goodness. Serve them with your favorite jam alongside a hot cup of tea or coffee. 

Lemonade scones

Another quick and easy recipe and you will need only three ingredients to make them. Yes, just three simple ingredients: self-raising flour, cream, and lemonade. I could say the secret ingredient is lemonade but then again it is in the name. Make sure you serve them warm and have ample amounts of jam or cream to go along with these scones.

Fresh peach scones

I love using fruits as an ingredient in my dishes. Fresh fruits give that natural sweetness and tart flavor which is just out of this world. And if you are anything like me then you will love these peach-filled scones. I usually prefer fresh peaches but you can also use canned peaches if you don’t have fresh ones.

Savory ham and cheese scones

We’ve had some sweet scones on our list but not everyone might enjoy sweets as much as I do. So, if you are looking for a savory scone to make then you try out the ham and cheese scones. Instead of loading your scones with sugar or fruits, load them with ham, cheddar cheese, black pepper, garlic powder, and fresh chives. Voila! There you have the perfect savory scone for you to enjoy.

Jalapeno and cheddar scones

Do you want your scones to have a kick in them? Then you need to bake yourself some jalapeno and cheddar scones. Add in a clove of garlic, and some yogurt for acidity, load them up with cheddar cheese, and put jalapenos for that kick. Whenever I want to bake some savory scones this is where I go first.

Strawberry scones

Another favorite of mine is strawberry scones which pair perfectly with a hot cup of americano. The bitterness of the coffee perfectly pairs with the sweetness of the scones. And if you want to take it up a notch use bourbon-soaked berries. The flavor is unmatched and I guarantee you will love it.

Chili cheese scones

We are ending things on a spicy note so for our last scone, I bring to you chili cheese scones. I love spicy food and that’s why I wanted to add it to our list of recipes. If you are worried this would be complicated to make don’t be and you probably have all the ingredients in the pantry. All you will need is self-raising flour, butter, milk, buttermilk, baking powder, cayenne pepper, red chili, and grated cheddar. Try out these spicy scones and you will not regret your decision.
