There is nothing quite like the smell of freshly baked goods. It isn’t always sweet goodies that gets me going. The smell of these Cheese and Herb Scones had me salivating by the minute.
I felt is was time for a trusty, homey recipe and I am chuffed to share this easy scone recipe with you guys today. I have always been a bit frightened of baking, but I have to say, this recipe is a keeper.
The best thing about this effortless scone recipe is that you can add loads of different flavour variations here, whether it be savory or sweet.
I used a basic scone recipe and added extra grated mature cheddar cheese and a handful of freshly chopped herbs. Simply serve it with a strawberry jam and some grated cheddar – and you are golden.
Why don’t I bake this more often, I sometimes ask myself.
And then I remember that once you start with these babies, there’s no turning back – so make sure there’s someone special to share it with! I also made these Blueberry Yogurt Scones a while back – utterly delicious! What is your favorite topping on a fresh scone?
