Description
This is my grand-mum’s family recipe for authentic Scottish scones, which she got from her mum, and so on. I’ve lost count of how many scone recipes I’ve tested over the years. I usually order a scone from every tea/coffee shop I visit, and I’ve yet to have tasted a better scone than these. If you feel like indulging yourself, or if you’re hosting some guests, these are a guaranteed favorite…
Serve with marmalade or strawberry jam, or make up some freshly whipped cream. They're best served warm with tea.
*Adjust the time based on your oven.
