First of all, it has to be home made! Sounds obvious but doesn't always happen. Secondly, if is is home made, it is not an excuse for a really bad scone which is more like an over cooked rock bun. Additions of raisins, cherries, chocolate, apple, spices, mars bars, treacle (yummy, my favourite) cheese or wholemeal flour are all very welcome but the scone must be light and preferably quite large(according to Cherry Tart!) and served with proper butter and home made red jam. So there! Paler imitations simply will not do. Where do you find these amazing scones? Apart from at my sister's house, not very many places! We have experienced some very poor examples but this website will hunt out the better ones for you. All you have to do is log on regularly and we will do the really hard work. Sitting in tea rooms, eating scones, chatting and looking at the gift shop next door...... What an exhausting drag! The things we have to do in the pursuit of excellence. We really are dedicated to the cause.
Scone recipes produce endless debate. I'm with the Goddess Delia on this but Cherry Tart favours her own Special Recipe from ye olde tatty recipe folder!! Delia, but with serious modifications of her own...
Mmmm just off to make some treacle scones(no not really, because life is too short and I have loads of work to do but it was a nice warming thought anyway.) Oh well, back to the real world.
