Passed down from a grandmother’s kitchen, these cheesy scones are perfect for sharing or savouring warm from the oven on a slow morning.
MAKES: 10
This recipe is from my grandmother, who was one of the best bakers I have ever known. She would make these, and we would enjoy one (or many) with a hot cup of coffee in the morning. It is one of my fondest memories and I know she would be so excited to know that there are people baking these for their loved ones. They are best enjoyed warm from the oven.
Ingredients
Method
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the chopped hazelnuts, oats, and raisins. (If you’re using dark chocolate, add that now, too.)
- Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl. Add the cheese and mix through.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Add the egg mixture to the cheese mixture and mix through. You can always add more milk if the mixture is too stiff. Too much makes the mixture sloppy and it spreads on the tray before it starts rising. Drop large spoonfuls on the prepared tray.
- Bake for around 15 minutes, or until golden. Serve warm from the oven.
