Cheddar Cheese Scones is a dish I love. Making a scone is lovely but adding Cheddar Cheese gives it a massive hit of flavour. I have served these for breakfast and brunch and snacks. Add a little ham and pickle and you have a perfect snack.

A lovely change to the standard scone. The cheese gives the scones an added taste that works so well.
