Flaky cheese and pickle scones from Sift: The Elements of Great Baking (page 183) by Nicola Lamb

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I love this recipe! I swapped out the pickles and used giardiniera - highly recommend!

    Have cooked these multiple times; a flaky marvel with every iteration. (I always use the vinegar as I don't often have buttermilk and it works fine! Using some spicy pickles is a nice option too.)

    Devoured at speed by all whenever I make them.
