Baking With Kids – Easy Cheese Scones

How amazing are cheese scones? 

TOTALLY AMAZING is the answer – especially warm from the oven with butter on. 
As with many things in life, I’m cheese scone fussy – I like them really cheesy and not too mustardy so when we make them we like to use a really mature cheese – The Wensleydale extra mature is perfect for the job. 

This cheese scone recipe is so easy to follow and uses ingredients you’ll likely have in so it’s perfect for the kids to do. You’ll notice all my recipes are easy for kids to follow – I’m slowly trying to outsource the baking aspect of my life! 

These scones don’t rise so much when cooking so you do need to make them a good depth before they go into the oven – no one likes those flat little scones that you have to sandwich together just to feel you’ve enjoyed them! 

Go. Bake. Enjoy!
