Whole-Wheat Jalapeño Cheddar Scones

This recipe is from Good and Cheap.

Good and Cheap is a gorgeous cookbook for people with limited income, particularly on a $4/day food stamps budget. The PDF is free (ahora en Español!) and has been downloaded more than 15,000,000 times. I have more cookbooks, too!

It’s getting more Autumny and I have been craving these scones something fierce! I can’t stop thinking about the crumbly edges slathered in butter with gooey cheese pockets and flecks and spicy and bright jalapeño. The best is the little bits of almost burnt cheese that gooshes out the sides and gets crispy.

Join me, and give these a try for weekend brunch.
