Gluten Free Cheddar & Jalapeno Scones

Cheesy Scones!



If you're in the mood for an afternoon snack, or a light breakfast, these scones are perfect. They have a nice light texture to them, and are similar to the last recipe I posted for Gluten Free Tea Biscuits, although these were inspired and adapted to gluten free from these Sun-dried Tomato and Cheddar Scones by Hilah at HilahCooking.com. I LOVE her. She's creative, knowledgeable and funny. Check her out if you haven't yet, her Youtube Channel is just the best thing ever.



Back to the scones.  I've been on a jalapeno kick for months now, and instead of using sun-dried tomato and green onion, like Hilah did, I swapped in jalapenos.  And loved it.  If you don't love jalapenos, you can leave them out, or use sun-dried tomatoes like the original recipe.  Either way, I hope you try these and enjoy them  Let me know!
