Traditional English Scones
These are quick and easy to make - perfect for an afternoon tea - or anytime to be honest!Not too sweet and great to have with a bit of butter and jam or even some clotted cream for total indulgence.Once you get the hang of the basic flour and butter mix, you can eliminate the sugar and substitute the raisins for herbs, ham, or some cheese for a savoury twist.
