So they continue to wait.
Then, we saw someone (I forget who) making Cheese Scones on t.v. and we all began hankering after some.
So I bought some from the local supermarket, only to find that they were a normal sweet scone - with some cheese on the top! Hideous! (Although we did eat them all - well, waste not, want not and all that).
There was only one thing for it - to get hubby's premier scone making skills into the kitchen.
These were the result.
Such rich, golden, cheesy, savoury, puffy clouds of loveliness. It's only a shame that they all went - and faster than you could say "cheese s'gone!". (Sorry, but the joke had to appear somewhere!).
This is, in fact, the same recipe as I have already blogged - so refer to this link if you're after the recipe.
Mmmm, delicious, a real winter treat for us - cheese scones on a Sunday evening, especially after a good walk in the cold air
ReplyDeleteI've had that problem with supermarket cheese scones too! What idiot is just shoving a bit of cheese on top of sweet scones?? Fools!
ReplyDeleteI can almost smell the scones in your pictures. I've not had cheese scones for ages, and now I'm craving them like a loon. For some reason my brain is linking them with happy childhood feelings, but I've no idea why!
Well, I can't do the "walk in the cold air" Noreen (not any more), but I certainly can appreciate a cheese scone on a cold day. They're especially nice with a cup of coffee, I think!
ReplyDeleteJane - it's infuriating, isn't it! I wrote to the supermarket concerned and complained and they promised to sort out the situation. I've not tried more since (because home made are just so much nicer), but I can see I'll have to - just to see if they've been as good as their word!
... Amazing scones!
