Savory scones or biscuits, whatever you call them they are delicious. Lots of cheese, enough to please most any cheese lover really delivers on taste. For me a bit more garlic wouldn't be a bad thing but thats personal taste only. The recipe works beautifully and gives a side that will fit perfectly with oh so many things.
