Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 2/3 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup arrowroot powder
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter or ghee, melted
- 2 eggs, room temperature
Additional Ingredients
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped chives
- 1/2 pound breakfast sausage links, cooked and sliced (recommended: Jones Dairy Farm)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10-inch cast iron pan with parchment paper or grease it generously with butter to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, arrowroot, sea salt, and baking soda until well combined and free of clumps.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Whisk in the melted butter and eggs until the mixture is fully combined and forms a wet batter.
- Incorporate Cheese, Chives, and Sausage: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped chives, and the cooked, sliced breakfast sausage until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Shape the Batter: Using a greased spoon or your hand, press the batter firmly and evenly into the prepared cast iron pan, spreading it all the way to the edges for uniform thickness.
- Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the scones are fully cooked through.
- Cool and Slice: Allow the scones to cool slightly in the pan. Once cooled, slice into 8 servings and enjoy immediately or store for later.

- To reheat frozen scones: microwave on high for 90 seconds or bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes until heated thoroughly.
- For best texture, serve freshly baked or reheat gently to avoid drying out.
