Cheese Scones

Cheese Scones

Be the first to review!
You will find these Cheese Scones to be wonderfully tender, with a buttery and cheesy quality that is accented by the light savory notes of buttermilk and mustard powder. The cold butter lends them a crumbly, flaky texture and there is enough grated cheese in each one for a rich, comforting bite. At only 9 minutes in the oven they are done, so they are an easy go to for breakfast or brunch, a spot of afternoon tea, or just a no fuss homemade snack.
