Comments / Reviews of Cheese Scones
Had some unsweetened yoghurt in the fridge and used 50/50 with milk and a big dash of smoked paprika and they were the BEST cheese scones I've ever made!
Made these last week. Best scone recipe around. This recipe made 4 scones. Increase ingredients for more. Thanks
Great and easy recipe. They turnt out yummy love this recipe :)
Awesome, quick, easy and delicious
no butter so used vegetable oil...turned out yumm.
I didn't have baking powder so i used baking soda still turned out great and no complaints. No one even noticed
Amazingly yummy. Worked out perfect i didnt have baking powder so just used self raising flour and also doubled it and added in wheatmeal flour. I had never made scones before and they worked out perfectly. Thanks heaps for the recipe :-)
It's on the oven now I added cheese to the mixture as well as on top great recipe been looking for a good one for awhile now thanks :)) xx
Just made these they are so yummy!! Denfintely one I am going to save thanks :)
Now that I have found this recipe, I keep it bookmarked and use it every time. Always successful and loads of compliments. Thanks!
Very light and got the thumbs up from my husband after a few previous fails. You can vary this a bit by putting the dry ingredients into the food processor and then add the butter and give it a quick pulse or two. I used more cheese than stated and also made the scones smaller so I got eight small to medium scones. Parsley a good idea. Will do that next time.
Until now I could not make scones. Great easy receipe, I added bacon and parsley with the cheese. Yummy. Thanks now I can make scones.
Really good recipe, I haven't made scones for years and they came out superb!
It's very easy to make! Actually, it's the 1st time I made scone, and the result was really yummy! I added some paprika and fresh parsley. Next time, I will add some bacon. :) Thank you so much for the recipe!!
Easy to make. I added some paprika for a little extra flavour and colour. Yummy!
These were quick and easy to bake. Recommend adding some beef stock and paprika to the mix to make tasty!!!
Great recipe, quick and easy to make, very tasty, but also very modifiable. Thanks for that!
just in the oven now! looking yum :)
OMG PERFECT!!
I give a rating of five this was and okay recipe to follow very kiwi. The reason I thought it was okay is because it only made four instead of six the recipe should have been more reliable I don't know how they taste I will be getting them out of the oven soon.
First scones I've ever made that are actually fluffy! Made a double batch and made them large so I could take one to work for lunch tomorrow, but I have serious doubts as to whether there will be any left. So quick and easy! Thank you!
Cooking ... cant wait....smelling good...
Oh wow!! i have made scones before (more like hard rocks) but this recipe takes the cake!! easy, simple, straight forward recipe that comes out perfect...... Highly recommend to anyone who reads this recipe
Taste pretty good but ive made this twice now, one normal mixture & a double mixture & both times they have been so dry ive had trouble putting into one lot so i can need it :( dunno what im doing wrong
These were fantastic and mine came out much better than the ones in the pic! I used extra cheese too! Fantastic!
Loved them! So quick and turned out perfectly. Great recipe - thanks.
Wow!! I was a bit dubious on these but after making them - was totally amazed. Nice, simple matter of fact recipe, beautifully fluffy and tasty!! I made it with a cup of self-raising flour and a teaspoon of baking powder...has been added to my recipe collection!
Brilliant, so tasty. I put in a bit more cheese (not quite double), and sprinkled heaps of grated parmesan on the top. Perfection, especially hot from the oven!
Just made these with my cooking class...best scones ever....
Just baked them a minute ago! Yum cant believe how easy it is! Thanks for sharing.
too much baking powder! tasted horrible
The we're superb yum!
Loved this recipe!!! So easy and soo yum! I added onion, garlic and cheese to it and it was delicious. Thank you, thank you, thank you :)
Great recipe. I make a triple mixture because otherwise it's pretty small, and add finely chopped tomatoes, salami and some herbs. Very yummy and perfect every time.
Awesome recipe, quick and easy, turned out great and golden and moist. Added garlic and mixed herbs. Needed something tasty for boys camp, tasty :) Thank you.
i cooked theses in Brazil and used there white cheese whooo the were good done in 20 mins "PIECE OF CAKE"
Amazing and so easy to make.... taste fantastic too!
beautiful
Awesome
When it comes to baking i opt out to packets off supermarket shelves...or take out. but after trying this recipe and method i surely will be saving my money off scones. Me and my family really enjoyed this. It is quick and easy. if you are like me...please do try this. its amazing from the first time you make them. Cheers
I dont know how to bake so was looking for easy cheesy scone recipe and came across this one. i messed up first batch cos i didnt know how measure 1/3 cup milk LOL yup thats how much i dont bake actually maths wasnt one of my strong points in school. ANYHU made 2nd batch and turned out great! My 3year old daughter and i ate the whole 6 scones in one go. Now thats impressive even for my baking LOL so big THANK YOU TO YOU WIFEY for putting this recipe up for those of us who have no idea how to bake LOL cheers.
I chose this recipe because I wanted a really cheesy cheese scone recipe. Found it simple, no-fail and quick. I had the remains of a cheese platter to use up, so made a triple batch using blue cheese and caramalized onion, and a 1.5 batch using aged cheedar with a packet of onion soup mixed into the milk. Used rough measurements and just threw them together, and all turned out really well. The aged cheedar and onion soup is a winner if you like really savoury scones. I reduced the salt in the blue cheese batch and probably shouldn't have. Definitely need to reduce the salt if you're adding onion soup mix though.
This recipe is amazing! As a student, we have next to nothing in our pantry. So this is an amazing stomach filler. But I doubled the mixture, extra cheese, threw in some ham and a sprinkle of mixed herbs. Best thing I've ever baked.
I made these scones once before and the consistency was beautiful...small amount but easy enough to double the mix which I am doing this time around. Lovely and simple.
Nice and easy recipe. Added ham and doubled the recipe. Can imagine them being really good with some herbs or the like for a more savoury taste. Thanks
Quick & Easy - doubled up the recipe & baked these a half hour ago. The family have polished them off.....simply delicious!!
worked great , Followed the recipe 1st , straight away after did a 2nd lot and doubled the recipe for a bigger batch also cooked a bit longer till they browned a little on the outside so they weren't all doughy on the inside , after reading others comments the idea of adding other things like ham , mushrooms etc sounds a great idea cheers Thanks Greatly :-)
Quick easy and precise! Just made a batch myself and they tuned out great!! thanks very much Cooking Amateur
These scones were amazing!! =] ii also doubled the recipe and added ham and onion and some tuscan seasoning and a bit of garlic and they were delicious!! Thank You =]
I tried this recipe twice, following it EXACTLY. Both times very dry :(
i just love every baking its wonderful...
i have made these everyday since i found this recipe 3 days ago :)
This recipe is so EASY that you can't believe how yummy the scones are! Like others I doubled the amount of ingredients and added chopped ham at the same time as adding the cheese. Thanks Wifey for your recipe, it really comes highly recommended.
Great recipe, like others I doubled mixture, and added finely cut onion, tomato, mushroom, capsicum, courgettes and grated cheese. then rolled up, brushed with milk, What a lovely, easy brunch or snack. Thanks alot for recipe and additions everyone. I will definately be using this site for other recipes.
Really nice scones and very quick and easy. Highly recommended I've increased the quantity by 50% and make into 8 scones - seems to give a more satisfactory size for each one.
Made double batch and then rolled out to be thinner.then sprinkled cheese, tomato, capsicum and mushrooms all over and rolled it up, like a scroll. cut them up and baked them. They were awesome. so yummy and it adds a bit more to the basic recipe.
Great easy scones, and not too many so you can't eat too much!! hahaa
OMG best scones ever! And easy! Had to double the recipe to get 8 medium-sized scones.
WOW! The best scone's i have ever tasted and the easist one to... and i am on 11! I peformed this as my first recipe to be made at home by MYSELF and not anyone else whatsoever.
OMG! yum - these scones turned out absolutely delicious! I would definately make again.......mmmmmm mmmmmm
these were really good! better than edmonds cook book recipe for sure! just need to make a double batch of these as this was not enough, made 6-7 and so moreish there was not enough to go around!
this recipe is so easy to follow with minimal ingredients. Just recently got baking stuff and oh yummy scnones! i love them just eaten my 2nd one. i shall be baking these alot by looks of it lol
I had never made any scones before so i thought that i'd give it a go! I doubled the mixture they came out amazing and my husband ate nearly the whole batch! Awesome scone recipe thanks!!
This is great if you do not have many ingredients available and want something homebake quick or cannot go to the shop and need food for hungry men! a great basic recipe to remember. Thanks
Nice quick & easy. Added very finely chopped onion. Little bit of cream too.
simple and easy- added some tumeric for colour and a little flavour. came out great!
quick and easy, also very tasty, great recipe for 1
SO easy! I doubled recipe too......and came out perfect! Thanks :-)
Hi Terri I've added one version of the cheese scone recipe made with lemonade. Hope you enjoy it...it's a beauty! http://www.kiwiwise.co.nz/recipe/cheese-scone-made-with-can-lemonade
Does anyone have the cheese scone recipe that uses a can of lemonade? It's a classic Kiwi recipe
Just made these and they came out perfect, doubled the ingredience as well, next time I will use stronger cheese though as used mild and they are!!
These were primo, very tasty and easy to follow, I've been craving for cheese scones for about a year now and finally made them using this recipe, it served my satisfaction to a tee, recommended to all readers.
great recipe, I doubled the recipe added small amounts of sundried tomatoes, spring onion, feta and diced capsicum.... jsut whatever was around. Very nice, moist too.
I agree with you "ameya" that the recipe doesn't yield much, to those about to try this recipe maybe consider doubling the mixture. The recipe as it stands makes enough for 2 adults, how many scones you get really depends on what size you make them. I also agree with you about the amount of baking powder, normally you use 1 teaspoon of baking powder to 1 cup of flour...but my scones did taste delicious when I made this recipe.
the recipe says it makes 6, I got 4 small scones, and i followed it exactly. It has way too much baking powder, probly should only use half the amount
Delicious. Second time round I added onion soup mix, I recommend this recipe to everyone.
Simple and easy to follow recipe. Was very nice. Tasted yummy, you can actually taste the cheese. Added a bit of pepper to bring out the cheese flavour. Use cooking paper so that the scones do not get stuck.
I just wanna say that my cheese scones turned out perfect and I'm gonna keep on using your website.....It's amazing!!!-Thanks alot, Mikaela
First time making scones for me. Easy recipe and super yummy. I added a little parmesan and they tasted really nice.
Very nice scones. Easy to follow recipe.
good one. easy to make
Great recipe and really delicious but the only thing wrong is that they go hard the next day, is there a way that I could do to prevent that.....????
These were great scones, I added half a finely chopped onion to the recipe and it made them that much better. They were still moist the next day. =)
really easy - i whipped them up in 10 mins and they were perfect hot from the oven with butter.
The best scones I have ever made, easy and came out nice and fluffy, difinatley using this recipe again! Thanks so much to the contributor
Yum yum yum! But we only made two from this recipe. hehe :)
scones were easiest scones iv ever made and came out just as good :)
Really easy to make, and tasted delicious.
Easy and cheesey. Great scones, they created the perfect synergy with my pumpkin soup. I'm about to die of deliciousity (food so good that it kills you with deliciousness)
they taste nice, so easy and perfect
The cheese scone recipe is one of the best I have tried,Yum! Looking forward to trying more of your recipes. Best Regards. Linda
Great recipe! I made the scones yesterday and was amazed a how easy and fast the scones were to make. I hadn't made scones before but will use this recipe again. The recipe produced 6 smallish scones perfect for 2 adults...fresh from the oven, split and with a generous amount of butter. YUM! I didn't have a sieve either so couldn't sift flour but still turned out great.
they taste great and are great for the kids lunch boxes. they were also very economic
it was very good my first time yummy
This is the best scone recipe I have used. The scones came out super yummy... The recipe was also a very simple recipe =) Thanks!
This is a grand recipe and with a little butter scone heaven was delivered... we had good soup to go with it...
First try making scones as im not really a great fan, but I will continue to make this recipe..they were so soft
Good recipe, i went with parmesan and pesto yum yum
easy , tasty and economic as well. a great combination. Top recipe wifey
