CHEESE SCONES

 

I adore scones and a special tea treat are cheese ones.     They’re easy and bake up quickly. They are a cousin to a biscuit and this recipe can be transformed into those beloved Red Lobster Biscuits by dipping them in a half cup of melted butter to which a ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder has been added.     Me, I prefer them as is with a steaming pot of tea in the afternoon!

 

1 ¾  c. flour
2 t. Baking powder
½ t. Salt
1 c. heavy cream
1 c. grated Cheddar cheese

 

Preheat oven to 450

 

Mix flour, baking powder and salt together.  Stir in cheese and mix. Stir in cream until soft dough forms.     Put on floured board and knead a few times. Pat out ½ to ¾ inch thick and cut with biscuit cutter.   Place on ungreased cookie sheet.

 

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until done.

 

IF, making Red Lobster biscuits, spoon the butter/garlic powder mixture over the biscuits as they come out of the oven.
