Typically served with jam, jelly, or clotted cream, scones are a staple in Britain and beloved by foodies across the globe. Prized for their biscuit-like texture, scones can complement your breakfast cup of coffee or used as a base for deli meats in the afternoon. Here are seven scone flavors that make it worth venturing out of your comfort zone. 

Try These Scone Flavors Today

1. Classic English

Made with less butter and sugar than traditional American scones, classic English scones are less sweet and sometimes have raisins or dried currants. Perfect alongside your morning tea, they have a soft, dense texture that makes them well suited for dipping. 

2. Raspberry

Both sweet and tart, raspberries are excellent in scones. In addition to lending a powerful punch of flavor, raspberries can also be paired with orange, blueberries, or blackberries, making your breakfast a summertime treat. 

3. Bacon, Gruyere, and Chives

Scones don’t have to be sweet, and bacon, gruyere, and chive scones are proof of that. The bacon in these delicious pastries provides a touch of smokiness, while the cheese mellows out the mouthfeel and the chives break through the flavor with a springy freshness. Bacon, gruyere, and chive scones are good on their own or served as breakfast sandwiches topped with eggs. 

4. Lemon Blueberry

Add a little zest to your morning with lemon blueberry scones. With a subtle tartness, this scone flavor can be eaten alone or alongside a hefty breakfast to brighten things up. Additionally, since both lemons and blueberries are high in Vitamin C, you can pack in some micronutrients before you begin your day. 

5. Cherry

Cherry scones are a traditional flavor that everyone should try. Since they are made with cream, cherry scones taste a little like cherry vanilla ice cream, without the steep calorie count. They’re delightful slathered with butter or alongside a hot cup of tea. 

6. Cheddar Jalapeño

A touch of fiery jalapeño offers a spicy take on traditional cheese scones. Perfect alongside Mexican soups or spicy Chai teas, cheddar jalapeño scones are a modern take on a classic breakfast treat. 

7. Cranberry Walnut 

Don’t just reserve cranberries and walnuts for the fall and winter. Chewy dried cranberries and roasted walnuts add a pleasurable texture to traditional scones while helping fill you up until lunchtime.
