Mince Cobbler

The following is completely from a Recipe Card that I have,you can just make sweet scones on their own,by just leaving out the Herbs within the scones and by not sprinkling Sesame Seeds on top,if you have a allergy to Sesame Seeds then don't use them on your savoury scones with mince meat mix - for sweet scones just add 1 1/2 tablespoons of Caster Sugar,have only ever made a homemade Cobbler once,have only ever had it once,not sure if it was a Dessert based Cobbler Dish,or a savoury one.Preparation time is 20 minutes and then all the cooking times amount to 45 minutes.
