Easy Cheese and Garlic Scones

Recipesfull introduces to you: Quick Bread Recipes. (Easy Cheese and Garlic Scones). This is my favorite, very simple, recipe for savory scones. They are wonderful served hot, spread with a little butter, and eaten alongside a steamy hot soup. It's important not to over handle these scones, as they will be heavy and tough.
