Garlic and Herb Ghee Scones: A Savory, Buttery Delight
OMGheeShare
When you think of scones, your mind might go straight to sweet jam and cream-filled versions. But these Garlic and Herb Ghee Scones prove that savory scones deserve just as much attention! Rich with the deep, nutty flavor of OMGhee, packed with fresh herbs, and finished with a fragrant garlic ghee glaze, these scones are a game-changer for any bread lover.
Why Bake with Ghee?
Using ghee instead of butter in these scones gives them an incredibly tender, flaky texture. Thanks to ghee’s high smoke point and deep, buttery taste, the scones stay moist inside while achieving a perfectly golden, crisp exterior. Plus, the added garlic and herbs take their flavor to the next level, making them a must-try for any home baker.
How to Make the Perfect Savory Scones
The key to flaky, tender scones is keeping the ghee cold. By cutting chilled chunks of OMGhee into the flour mixture, you create little pockets of richness that melt into the dough as it bakes. The result? A beautifully layered scone with a soft interior and crisp edges.
Buttermilk adds the perfect amount of moisture and tang, balancing the richness of the ghee. And for that finishing touch, a warm garlic ghee glaze brushed over the top straight out of the oven makes these scones truly irresistible.
Serving Suggestions
These Garlic and Herb Ghee Scones are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or alongside dinner. Serve them warm with soups, stews, or even as a base for eggs benedict. They also make an excellent side dish for entertaining—just be prepared for guests to ask for the recipe!
Baking with ghee elevates any dish, and these savory scones are no exception. Try them today and discover why OMGhee makes all the difference in creating light, flavorful, and utterly delicious bakes.

Ingredients
-
1kg all-purpose flour
- 50g caster sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ cup finely chopped parsley + 2 tbsp for the garlic ghee
- 2 tsp sea salt
- 240g OMGhee, chilled and cut into chunks, plus 50g to melt and baste the top
- 375ml buttermilk
- 2 garlic cloves, finely grated
Directions
- In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, garlic powder, baking soda, half of the parsley and salt.
- Add roughly chopped and refrigerated OMGhee and crumble the flour mixture in between your fingers to combine the ghee and flour into a large crumb.
- Add buttermilk to the mixture and gently combine to form a shaggy dough. The dough will be fairly dry but once the ghee continues to melt, it will come together nicely.
- Turn out onto a surface and keep folding the dough until it looks well combined then wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 200°C and cut the dough into roughly 15-20 squares and arrange on a lined baking sheet.
- Brush egg wash over the top and bake for 35–40 minutes until golden.
- While baking, heat grated garlic, a pinch of salt, and remaining OMGhee in a pan until melted. Stir in parsley.
- Once the scones are ready, remove from the oven and brush the herby garlic OMGhee over the top and serve.
