Recipe Description
Classic English scones are flaky, light and fluffy and quintessentially British. Topped only with jam, clotted cream along with a pot of tea, they are perfect for breakfast or afternoon tea.
One of the first things I enjoy most of all when I land back on British soil is a lovely scone with clotted cream, jam and pot of tea. Why it tastes better on home turf I do not know. I try and make scones at home as often as possible to get my fix and they’re always best straight from the oven. I love all types of scones, but there are times where I just want it in it’s purest form with nothing added. Variations can be sweet or savory by adding currants or raisins, or cheese.
