Cheese Scones

If you went into a baker's shop and asked for a cheese scone what would you expect to get? Please specify.

To us it was always turnips for Swedes, I never saw a white turnip till I was in my 20s.

[Jackdaw33]

In my part of the world the pronunciation as 'scown' to rhyme with known'was seen as extremely affected. The only kids who pronounced it thus were those whose parents were rich enough to send them to elocution lessons.

[DaisyNonna]

Swedes are round, turnips are anaemic carrots

[zebo]

Are anaemic carrots not parsnips? I've never known the difference between a swede and a turnip.

[Elina]

[DaisyNonna]

Sorry, missed out word fat

[Elina]

[DaisyNonna]

Agreed Elina.

Scottish pronunciation for me, scone as in gone. Make some Daisy, it's easy, I add mustard and a bit of cayenne to my mix,and use string cheese

[Mags22]

That should have said strong cheese!

I make cheese scones (rhymes with owns) regularly and put LOADS of grated cheese actually in the mixture and it has to be vintage strong cheddar and cayenne pepper to give them some ooomph!

I live near the village of Scone (Scooone) and have been known to purchase scones (scons) from the bakers.

Pal told me she adds a bit of Marmite to her mix, but havent tried that yet. I do mine at 180' in fan oven, another tip is not to roll them out too much, just a gentle roll then cut out

[Jackdaw33]

Red Leicester over Cheddar anytime. Same goes for cheese on toast, with a dash of Lea and Perrin's.
