Cheddar-Chive Scones

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A scone is a single serving quick bread. They are very easy to make and require no mixer. In this recipe, I have used a classic pairing of chives and cheddar cheese which compliment each other so well. These scorns are light and fluffy with a sharp taste which comes from the cheddar cheese. The aroma of these bad boys is unbelievable. They would make a lovely addition to any tea party.
