COOKBOOK: Mag Recipe
I experimented a little with these little beauties. I made some 2cm thickness in which they turned out looking like a good high raised scone and I also did a batch of 1cm thickness which turned out more suitable for the kids and just as tasty.
The cheddar cheese topping is delicious! You will need to move fast after the cheese is melted and its ready to be added to the top of the scone /biscuit. Totally yummy and a great idea!
I used a pair of kitchen scissors to remove any unwanted melted cheese around the scone. This will make it look neater when presented on a platter.
Definitely one to make! Enjoy!

CHEDDAR CHEESE TOPPING

Spoon a tablespoon over each scone. Bake in moderate oven for approx 12-15mins or until golden.
Take a kitchen pair of scissors and remove any messy melted cheese on the side. Place them on a serving plate. Ready to serve.
This is the biscuit thickness (1cm)- the scone thickness is 2cm
