This recipe was inspired by a recipe for a yeast bread in an old Betty Crocker cookbook. This bread was made in an oven proof bowl instead of a bread pan. There were several different variations of the recipe, but I remember one of them specifically. The one that I remember was the version with onion and dill.

Onion and dill makes such a great flavor combination! Years ago, I would serve Betty Crocker’s yeast bread with fish. I’ve been making fish a lot lately so this bread is on my mind. While I haven’t figured out (yet anyway) how to make the yeast bread low carb, I decided that scones flavored with onion and dill would make a great substitution.

My adventures in the kitchen to make these Low-Carb Onion Dill Savory Scones began with my recipe for low-carb biscuits. If you haven’t tried this biscuit recipe yet, you’re in for a treat. If I could send out virtual taste samples of these biscuits, the recipe might be the most popular recipe on the blog. This biscuit recipe made the perfect canvas to alter into this recipe for savory scones.

These Low-Carb Onion Dill Savory Scones make a perfect accompaniment for eggs or fish. Try the with our low-carb crab chowder or our oven-fried fish fillets. Another option is to cut them in half, slather them with cream cheese, and put some smoked salmon in between for a mini-sandwich. Don’t like dill? Make the recipe your own and substitute your favorite herbs. Enjoy!
