Scones are such a British thing aren't they? And so easy to make too. I love them- traditional scones, fruit scones, cheese scones, all the scones!

Cheese scones are possibly my favourite type of scone. I like them so much because they are versatile; they work for breakfast, a snack or afternoon tea and all you need to have handy is a knife and some butter. I made some mini cheese scones for my nephew's first birthday party recently and they went down very well with the parents and the children. This time I wanted a bit more kick with the cheese. A lot of spicy cheese scone recipes use cayenne pepper, but I find that to be a bit forceful, a bit sharp and I wanted something a bit more subtle against the cheddar, so I made Cheese and Jalapeno Scones. Jalapenos are spicy, but they also have a touch of sweetness to them, which I think is a better match. You can use red or green ones for this recipe- I used both. They give a little, spicy kick, nothing too scary.

Finding fresh jalapenos is difficult in the UK, but jars of pickled slices are freely available in the supermarkets. I used those, rinsed them so they weren't too vinegary and chopped them finely. I also didn't hold back on the cheese. I use double the amount that most recipes suggest, because, come on, they are supposed to be cheese scones! Cheese scones need to be cheesy, right? There's nothing worse than biting into a cheese scone and wondering, where's the cheese?
