My favorite scone recipe is from the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board – “Wisconsin Colby Cheese Scones”. I think sharply flavored cheeses stand out more in this recipe so I usually use an aged cheddar or an aged Swiss cheese. A little feta is good too, as is pictured above.

Turning Slicer Last September Noel & Anneliese were vendors at the Mother Earth News Fair in Seven Springs, PA.
