Zucchini and Gruyere Scones

I love, love, love these scones! This is my new favorite biscuit, I mean scone. I can say that they're semi-healthy since they have zucchini in them (haha). They were light and flavorful . . . I heart Gruyere.
As an aside . . . I looked up the difference between a biscuit and a scone. With all the different sites I looked at, I'm still confused. One site says that a scone usually has a higher sugar content making them sweeter, and they usually contain baking soda which makes them heavier. Another site says that scones have eggs while biscuits don't. With those two definitions, I'd say that this recipe is a biscuit recipe.
Ingredients: all-purpose flour, unsalted butter, heavy cream, zucchini, Gruyere, flaky sea salt, baking powder, sugar, Kosher salt, black pepper, thyme
Tips
- I used a biscuit/cookie cutter that was smaller than the 3" diameter that was recommended, and these still turned out huge! Next time, I'll be making them smaller but will need to watch the bake time.
- I also shredded the cheese but need to remember to dice the cheese next time instead per the recipe.
