Cheese Scone Recipe

Scones! One of the breakfast greats. These cheese scones are our most popular scone here at the Celebrate, gluten free bakery. They are perfect on their lonesome with a little bit of butter or, a personal favourite of mine, is to dip them in a nice warm bowl of stew or chilli. However you like your scone, we are excited to share our recipe so that you can enjoy the delicious experience of having a fresh scone right out of your oven. 

If cheese scones aren’t for you, you can simply replace the cheese with whatever dry ingredient you like. Enjoy!
