I love scones with my morning coffee – and I love cheese. I thought, how would cheese work in a scone? I’m more of a savory eater than sweet, so, I gave it a go!
They were pretty good. The texture was more like a cross between a scone and a biscuit, but leaned denser like a scone. I’m thinking, maybe add some green onions next time? What’d you think?
Here’s How to Do it:
First, whisk the dry ingredients together.
Cut in the butter until the mixture looks about the texture of cornmeal.
Stir in the cheddar until all the shreds are coated with the flour mixture.
Slowly pour in the milk until you have a shaggy (not well mixed) dough.
Form a round ball and set on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Next, gently flatten until it’s about 3/4 inch thick.
Carefully cut the dough into wedges and separate them just enough to get air flow.
Brush the top of the wedges with the buttermilk and
bake at 350° for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is golden.
Cool for about 10 to 15 minutes, then carefully separate the scones. Enjoy them hot, topped with butter – or cold. Just add a hot cup of coffee.

Even my non-scone eating husband loved these. He wants them with his chili next time.

I love making scones Helen, but have to admit I’ve never made them with cheese. It’s now on my must-do list.
