Taking a little break from my smorgasbord of sweets, I decided to go savory with flaky, buttery, and deliciously layered easy miso scones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Easy<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The recipe is courtesy 600acres<\/a>, but of course, it has a few Tasha Twists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I upped the amount of miso paste, opting for 1 and a half spoons instead of one. You can go up to 2 tablespoons to really make the pleasant savory taste speak volumes. I also used cream instead of beaten egg whites to brush the scones, and lastly, I sprinkled chopped cilantro in the dough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did the miso scones taste? Like heaven. They pack a rich umami punch with an underlying sweet earthiness all packed in buttery goodness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is miso?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Originating from Japan, miso<\/a> is a very, very popular condiment. You\u2019ve likely heard of miso soup, but it\u2019s used to season a whole slew of dishes \u2013 salads, stews, spreads, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It looks like a paste and is made by fermenting water, salt, soybeans, and k\u014dji, <\/em>a fungus. Occasionally, miso may have a grain like barley or rice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In culinary terms, it\u2019s extremely versatile. The combination of sweet-salty-savory-nutty flavors find uses for the paste in any corner of the kitchen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s an enlivener of stir-fries. It\u2019s the savior of baked goods. And it\u2019s even scrumptious in ice creams - so I've heard, never tasted!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Essentially, miso can imbue any dish with an enormous amount of taste and savor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s fairly easily available online or in gourmet food stores. And because a recipe will always need only a small amount of miso paste, a single bottle of it goes a long way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to make miso scones?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the face of it, miso scones look rather simple. It\u2019s after the first bite that you feel the layers of flavor followed by the thought, \u201cMy god! what is it?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The little man of the house kept repeating \u201cso buttery<\/em>\u201d in-between gorging bites of the scones. And that\u2019s precisely what the scones are \u2013 indulgent treats perfect for December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
