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!
