This cheese scone recipe is a personal favourite. Buttered, hot cheese scones straight from the oven.
Lunch time just got a bit more interesting with a batch of these savoury scones with tasty cheese.
Whip them up in no time and serve with good quality butter while still warm.
Easy cheese scones NZ style, I say that because this is the recipe my Mum used growing up in New Zealand.
I could also quite safely say easy cheese scones Aussie style, because, I’ll bet there’s also plenty of Aussie Mum’s out there that use the same recipe.
If you’re looking for something a little sweeter, try these lemonade scones that only uses 3 ingredients.
Or these 4 ingredient traditional scones are very versatile, light and fluffy..
