This is a very simple recipe for savory scones. They are wonderful served hot, spread with a little butter, and eaten alongside a steamy hot soup. It's important not to over handle these scones, as they will be heavy and tough.

Ingredients

  • 2 C. self-rising flour
  • 2 Tbs. butter
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/2 C. shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 C. milk

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly grease a baking sheet. In a large bowl, sift together flour and salt. Rub in butter lightly with finger tips until mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Stir in cheese and garlic. Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk, reserving 1 tsp. for a glazing the scones. Gently mix, just until combined. Turn out onto a lightly floured board and knead briefly and lightly. Be careful not to overwork the dough. Press out dough to form a 1 inch thick round. Cut into 8 wedges. Place on prepared tray and brush with reserved milk. Bake in preheated oven for 10-20 minutes, or until light brown. Serve hot or let cool on a wire rack.

Yield: 8 servings
