BUTTERY CHEDDAR SCONES
Buttery Cheddar Scones are so easy to make and a great way to start the day! So good with butter and jelly or just honey. These are one of our favorites and everyone in my family loves them. Great to enjoy on a Sunday morning with the family.
Buttery Cheddar Scones Simple Ingredients:
Self-rising flour
Self-rising cornmeal (You could use regular cornmeal)
Salt

Cayenne
Butter

I always receive questions about using buttermilk. Most people don’t want to buy buttermilk for one recipe, especially if they don’t cook with it a lot like we do. If you are one of those people just make a simple buttermilk substitute with milk and vinegar. Learn more here!
These scones are very soft in the middle with a little crunch on top! They would be delicious with country or city ham. This recipe makes about 24 little scones and is perfect for any brunch or appetizer.
