British Cheddar and Rosemary Scones
These British Cheddar and Rosemary Scones are one of my favorite tastes of home. They are really easy to make and I adore the subtle combination of sweet and savory in this recipe. Cheddar cheese, rosemary, butter and jam isn’t a mix you imagine very often, but it tastes really great when put together in this recipe.
Start by combining dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients to the dry ones and mix well to form a dough ball. Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper until ½ an inch thick. Use a cookie cutter to cut out scones until no dough remains. Brush with melted butter and cook in a preheated oven. Serve warm with butter and jam. Yum!

Recipe Reviews
I prefer full on sweetness like the honey scones to this.
Very bland and not at all as fancy looking as these, i feel like they put a lot more spices just to make it look colorful.
Brought them out to a picnic with my kids who gobbled them right up :)
Going to try using some blueberry jam next time I heard they go well with cheese too despite how odd it sounds.
Cool recipe first time i'm seeing this and i'm shook that its a thing usually rosemary is only in savoury foods from what i know but im excited to try either way.
British cheddar scones are officially my new top 10 british recipes on this website so far! Going to try out some Italian stuff next.
Wonderful savoury/sweet dessert couldnt ask for a better dish than this, thx.
Will be trying this as soon as I get home, looks super easy and tasty.
Well this was a taste better than i expected it to be, very unique and can be mixed with pretty much anything.
Waiting for them in the oven as i type this out..smells heavenly
Looks easy enough.
Love the sweet and savory blend honestly can't get enough of it.
Not much going on but tasted good either way just wishing it had more depth to it tbh.
Made a bunch of these for lunch loved every bite.
Toss in some strawberry jam and a bit of cinnamon then thank me later (-;
Jeff makes legit the best stuff this was so good.
Mine blew up basically looks like a valcano exploded what did i do wrong? :(
These were absolutely yummy and easy to make, took a while but still worth the effort put into making them.
Yuck...for some reason my son was all over this but i think the cheddar with jam is a bad mix 4 stars only because my son actually ate them all.
So much butter?!!?
Yummy! Thanks for sharing recipe!
