The addition of onions gives these scones a nice bite. You can even stir in some basil or oregano if you like. —Jolie Stinson, Marion, Indiana

Ingredients

  • 2 cups finely chopped onions
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 4 teaspoons baking powder

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, saute onions in oil until tender. Add garlic; saute 1 minute longer.
