These scones have a fantastic flavour, very cheesy and yummy! The texture is more like a muffin, very soft. A great scone to spread with cream cheese.<br/>I like how quick and easy these were to prepare and that the recipe uses ingredients I almost always have on hand.<br/>However I had some trouble working with the dough. I made half the recipe and used less milk than stated, but still the dough was very wet and shaping required a lot of patience. I think next time Ill use even less milk and then these will be even easier to make. :)<br/>THANK YOU for sharing this wonderful recipe with us, Elaniemay! -
Mmmm, yummy scones, These scones are so good. I make a very similar recipe all the time and they are great on there own or with soup, and even with loaded butter, and yet more cheese. Not very healthy, but hey! who needs healthy all the time. I made them to the recipe with one addition, I sprinkled some cayenne pepper on top after the cheese, I think it brings out the flavour of your cheese, and I used Scottish cheddar. Thank you for posting Made for ZWT#6 2010

My Family and I moved to South Africa at the beginning of 2007 to be missionaries. My Husband is the Pastor of a church in Eden Park, a township in the Jo'burg area. We are having a great time. My kids love it (3 of them, 1 born here). We have got to do many exciting things( pet lion cubs, feed giraffes, eat Zebra(gross!)and other meats(Warthog was surprisingly the best, go figure) and swim on a beach with penguins, to name a few). I have always loved to bake but just got into cooking since moving over here. There were a lot of things I couldn't find over here(and still can't) that we were wanting so I started searching for good recipes for everything from sausage, salad dressing and root beer,to enchilada sauce, Macayo's baja sauce(posted), and Applebees hot wings!
A fellow missionary turned me on to this site and My husband got me a membership for this last birthday. I am loving it!
