I first had scones were in UK Bath. The taste still linger in my heart...
Freshly bake scones were served for our morning breakfast with a basket of jam & butter. Warm & buttery, tasted heavenly!
We stayed in a country-charm Bed & Breakfast lodging run by a family. I just adore country home & living, it makes one feel warm & relax.
Meanwhile...enjoy with me some home-bake scones.
Do you prefer the plain ones?
with chocolate chips or raisins?
Have a cup of English Breakfast tea.
Rich buttery flavor with crisp outer crust and buttery bread-like inner texture.
fill with blackcurrent jam...
Enjoy...
My children popped one after another. Dh likes it too. All gone within the noon!
