starbucks has cheese scones. this makes me happy. you know how hard it is to find a good cheddar cheese scone in the greater boston area? you could probably argue that starbucks doesn't count as good, but hey, i enjoyed it and that's what matters, right

NE Soup Factory has v. good cheddar biscuits. Or at least they did as I am no longer allowed to eat them! ;-)

i've never even heard of it. where is it? also, yum.

Try not having Starbucks, THEN see if Starbucks counts as good. Just generally try living in Italy. Fantastic deserts, but have they got a clue how to make muffins or brownies or cookies? None whatsoever.

I WANT A BLUEBERRY MUFFIN, DAMMIT!

no brownies?? that's not right. but you can probably get really good coffee.... i really liked the cheese scone, so it counts as "good" to me.

Do you like black pepper? I have a fabulous recipe for cheddar pepper scones, and can give you some the next time I make them. (Or I can give you the recipe, if you want to try yourself--they're pretty easy.)

are they really peppery? i think i would like the recipe, because that sounds pretty good.

It's this recipe, from Epicurious. I first had them at firstfrost's house, and was very impressed at just how peppery they are.

I'm lazy, so I don't bother patting out the dough and cutting it--I just take handfuls and drop it on the pan. They're not as nicely shaped that way, but I think they're more interesting.

I've also found that I seem to end up putting a lot more yogurt in than the recipe calls for to get the dough to hold together, so just make sure that you have a lot of either that or buttermilk.
