cheese scone
Cheddar-studded quick bread
A cheese scone is a savory quick bread made with flour, butter, and grated cheese—typically cheddar—baked until golden and slightly crusty outside, tender within.
Common in British and Irish cooking, cheese scones are served warm with butter, often alongside soup or as part of afternoon tea: Fresh cheese scones came out of the oven.
