Scones and scone-like pastry can be found all over the world. A simple dough leavened with baking soda and baking powder, a scone can be flavored to your liking. Sometimes plain, sweet, or packed full of savory bits, a scone is always tasty! Best enjoyed within a day or two of baking and for sure with tea or coffee. These cheddar scones, in particular, are excellent with a fried egg in the middle.
