Chilli Coriander Scones for #Breadbakers

This must be the longest dilly-dallying I did to bake something for #Breadbakers, or for that matter baking in general. Usually, a recipe / bookmark pops out once the theme is up. This time, I was pretty sure I could schedule the post too way early on before the date considering I was going to be busy doing a month long mega marathon on Protein rich dishes on this blog. If you are curious to check out, do scroll through the introductory post as well as the dishes so far on the blog - this is entirely based on mostly plant-based proteins with vegan and Gluten free dishes dominating the series.

But then, the dish I put up initially didn't work. I followed the recipe to a T, but it just wouldn't work. So I went back to +Stacy and +Wendy (who's our very generous host this month with a theme thats absolutely with no clauses!!-God bless you,Wendy :-)) to see if I could post another for the recipe link, and went through my bookmarks on the phones. I generally lean towards savoury bakes, and unless there is a demand for muffins / cupcakes / sweet breads, the family generally likes the savoury bakes. Although they enjoyed the mildly sweet Welsh Apple Pecan Cinnamon scones baked earlier.  

So there it was - Chilli-Coriander Scones. A take on the famous British scones, made the American way with an Indian fusion of green chillies and coriander - a perfect cheesy treat for the monsoons that are receding here. If you are curious about the difference between American and British scones like me, head here
