My German mother would prepare this hearty stew in the winter. It was a hit with us all, so I though I’d share!

I halved the recipe and made as written using gluten free all purpose flour (I ended up with 8 scones). The resulting scone was a bit dry and we would have liked more cheddar cheese. I also thought it would be really good with a garlic butter topping brushed on after baking.
