I love scones! I’ve never tried making them before, but I’m definitely going to try making these.
Hi Terri, I hope you will enjoy these as well. Please if you have a moment, your feedback will be much appreciated
I also love scones! My grandmother used to make them perfectly! I have, however, almost given up on cakes, biscuits and other baked goods, in the name of good health. I might make an exception for a tasty batch of scones though! Thanks for this recipe, it looks great!
Cheryl, should you decide to make this, enjoy it and let us know what you think of this one.
I love scones. So much better than biscuits! These do look easy and delicious. Thanks for sharing.
Dear Laurie, Glad you like it and hope you will have time to try and enjoy it as well.
I love a scone, saving this recipe. Are you jam or cream first?
Jam on the scone and topped with cream, delicious
Same for me!
For me in any case, it will be impossible to spread jam on cream 🙂
