When I made a Hi-Tea combo couple of months ago, my favourite of the lot of dishes was the Cheese and garlic scones. These are super easy to make and taste so good. It is one of the few baked dishes that even my husband liked and asked for seconds. I have made it several times since and it has been appreciated by kids and adults alike. This makes for a quick and easy snack with all ingredients easily available at home. I do think of adding some vegetables to it but then I feel maybe some dishes should be left just for taste instead of trying to healthy-fy everything all the time.
Recipe from here
Makes 8 scones
WHAT WE NEED
1 cup All purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp Baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup shredded cheese
1-2 garlic cloves, finely chopped or grated
1/2 cup Milk
WHAT TO DO
- Preheat the oven to 220C
- Mix the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl
- Add the shredded cheese and garlic to the bowl and mix well
- Make a well in the middle of the flour and pour in the milk except for 2 tsp of milk
- Bring together all the ingredients and form a dough
- Do not overmix
- Grease a baking tray and transfer the dough to the tray
- Pat it into a 1″ thick circle and cut into 8 wedges
- Brush the balance 2 tsp milk on the dough
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or till the top gets brown spots
- Cool for 10 minutes
- Serve warm with butter
NOTES
- I have tried this dish with cheddar cheese, pizza cheese (mix of cheddar and mozzarella) and matured goat cheese and it works beautifully with each one
- I found the goat cheese (matured) slightly bland in comparison to the other two and so I sprinkled some dried rosemary to enliven it

How aromatic this scones will be na, am in love with this cheese -garlic combo in scones. Love to kick start my day with some cream cheese. Lovely baked goodies there.
Scones are one of my fav foods and with cheese and garlic, they are just awesome. Even I never try to healthify such bakes, as it takes away the tase out of it..
