Thanks. How lucky, a colleague at work is entering a village scone competition, and asked us all if we had any "special recipes". If it's ok I'll share yours with her?

Would just like to say thank you for your recipe - had not made cheese scones in a long while and gave your recipe a go with great results - am inspired to try fruit ones now.

Hi All, Just as a variation....I make cheese scones from time to time and follow the same recipe as Liz but also throw in a sprinkle of mixed herbs to add interest. people all seem to like them!!! they don't last long enough to freeze!! Mayday
