I love a savory scone. Sweet scones are amazing, but I will choose savory every single time.
And the biggest difference between a biscuit and a scone is cream. Cream is my jam. This recipe is a family favorite and we eat them often! I am happy to share this recipe because of its clout in the Grappe house.
And if you're new here and wondering what soaked means, it means that the flour is soaked for 12 hours to break down phytic acid and unlock the nutrition inside the grain. It also helps the grain become more digestible.
Pro Tip: I usually never make the sausage the day that I am making the scones. I make the sausage early in the week and reserve a cup of it for the scones, but we eat the rest with eggs for breakfasts! So the leftover is used for scones!
And now....the goods!
Soaked Sausage Cheddar Scones
Ingredients:
2 cups organic unbleached all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbs baking powder
1 tbs honey
1 cup of half and half (can use heavy cream) + 1/2 TBS raw apple cider vinegar
5 TBS salted grass-fed butter
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup cooked breakfast sausage
Directions:
The night before, mix your flour, salt, and baking powder in a medium bowl. Use your hands to rub the butter into the flour. You just don't want big chunks of butter. Mix the honey, half and half, and apple cider vinegar in the measuring cup. Stir to make sure its combined, then pour into the flour. I like to use my hands to mix. Form it into a ball and cover with plastic wrap, a lid, or plate. Let it sit overnight!
In the morning, preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Add the sausage and cheddar to the bowl and mix with your hands.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. I like to bake on stones, so if you have one, just dust the bottom with flour.
Form the dough on the sheet into a circle so that it is about an inch thick.
Now you will cut the dough into 8 slices. The trick is to use a big knife and run the knife under hot water between cuts. It will prevent the dough from sticking. Use the knife to gently separate the slices and scoot them back from the center about an inch. I run my knife underneath each slice and pull them back.
The scones will rise and expand, so you want to make sure that they have enough room to do that.
Bake for 10-12 minutes.
May joy and peace find your heart today!

In the photo above, Jordan is passing link off the ceremonial All-Star Game Ball to Michael Reinsdorf Jr., the president and COO of the hosting Chicago Bulls (who, in case you live under a rock, were Jordan's team for all but the last two years link of his career). The funny thing about the UR-202S is link that, unlike many Urwerks, it kind of blends in here. To the untrained eye, it just looks like a large steel watch on a bracelet – it's only when you get closer that you realize it's something so unique.
I know I'm not speaking for all of you when I say this, but this link is a big deal to me – link like, budget-watch-release-of-the-year sort of stuff. I love ana-digi watches. As I type this sentence, I'm wearing a Citizen Aqualand JP2007. I own a UDT-adjacent Breitling Pluton, and I've owned Victorinox XLS MTs and the Breitling Aerospace. This is all to say – I'm in. Very, very link in.
The new link Neverest three-handers come in – wait for it – three different variations. There's an link icy mountain white dial with grey bezel (called "Glacier"), a forest green dial link with black bezel, and a limited edition bi-color (steel and rose gold) option with a grey dial. Each dial option features a raised, textured, pattern. The watches are fitted either to a steel bracelet, textile, or rubber strap.
Like many female collectors, Laura Frances Hoppock Hearn collected alongside her husband, George link A. Hearn. An article about her probate link in the New York Times in May 1917 mentioned her bequest of a collection of laces to the Metropolitan Museum, as well as the collection of "many ancient link and quaintly-wrought timepieces."
