After some experimentation, which is best forgotten, I finally decided on the savoury option of cheese scones filled with a swirl of the za'atar mix. Chock full of zucchini and with a hint of Za’atar, which adds a marvelous herbal note, these scones make for a delicious savory alternative at tea. First cut along the dark lines, then cut along. For the scones: Place the flours, baking powder, salt, sugar and zaatar in the bowl of a food processor. Add the butter in chunks and pulse the machine a few times until the butter no longer is visible and the mixture becomes like coarse sand.
