Scones are delicious sweet or savory, and luckily, we have recipes for both. Justin Chapple’s double-lemon version is a play on lemon-poppy seed cakes; date scones from chefs Vinny Dotolo and Jon Shook are paired with fleur de sel whipped butter for a sweet-salty flavor. We also have sugared lemon-rosemary scones, ginger-molasses scones, and more—read on to find your next weekend baking project.

Savory Pumpkin Scones with Gruyère and Sage

Rich but light, these savory scones partner equally well with bacon and eggs or a hearty soup, and they’re astoundingly good with country ham. The Gruyère becomes gooey and forms crunchy bits after it oozes out of the scones during baking.

When baking these scones, be sure to use whole wheat pastry flour, which is less dense than whole wheat flour. Mixing in some all-purpose white flour also lightens the texture of the scones, so they're more delicate and tender.
