Cheese Scones

I stopped in at Beaucoup Bakery the other day and grabbed a cheese scone (and a few other pastries, truth be told). It was fantastic; just the perfect thing when you're hungry but don't have time to sit down to lunch. I'm friends with a teacher at an inner city elementary school, and have been trying to think of a healthy, easy-to-eat snack to bake her class. Cheese scones fit the bill.

To make them a little healthier, I made mine with whole wheat flour. You can add more cheese if you like. Currants and cheese also make a nice combo. These are based on a recipe in Baking with Julia by Julia Child. They aren't the same texture as Jackie Ellis' at Beaucoup, but I think you'll like them. I hope you will.
