Mmmm, Im in cheese heaven right now!!! :) These scones are very, very tasty!!! Due to the quite original way of preparing these, they had a very different texture from what Im used to in scones: They were very fluffy and spongy, but that was great! I luved the combination of cheese and cayenne pepper (will use more of it next time) and the overall taste of these! This recipe was so easy and quick to put together that I had it on the table in nearly no time. Great if youre short on time. THANKS SO MUCH for sharing this lovely recipe with us, Daydream! Ill surely make it again!
