Cheddar-Scallion Scones

Delicious, cheesy, savoury scones with a hint of onion and cumin. I love that the recipe calls for you to cube the cheese instead of grate it....it means that there are lovely pockets of melted cheese when you bite into it!

As with all of the recipes I've tried in this book, the instructions are clear and the descriptions accurate and helpful. This recipe calls for creme fraiche - an ingredient that is used often in this book; it's very considerate of Joanne Chang to provide a recipe for home made (page 28) that's very easy and costs a fraction of store bought.

The recipe is in the breakfast section of the book but its versatility goes beyond that boundary.....it's great in place of bread for a lunch time sandwich or served with a soup and salad for dinner.
