There's nothing quite like sinking your teeth into a scrumptious savoury cheese scone - and they're so simple to whip up at home you'll be hard-pressed not to bake them daily. Mary Berry's cheese scone recipeis a breeze, taking less than 10 minutes to prep before a quick 10-minute stint in the oven.
These scones are fuss-free, requiring minimal ingredients and no complex cooking methods, making them the perfect accompaniment to soups, salads or even as a sandwich base.
Cheese scones are a comforting yet straightforward homemade treat that are best enjoyed with a hearty dollop of butter. In her cookbook 'Fast Cakes', Mary shares this recipe and advises using a tea towel for storage to prevent them from drying out in the summer heat. She said: "Wrapping scones in a tea towel after baking helps keep them moist." In other cooking stories, a writer claimed ‘I tried butter from Tesco, Aldi, Lidl and big brands - and the winner is not Lurpak’.
