Description

My friends and I had a small party for Will&Kate's wedding last April and I was asked to make scones. I have eaten dozens of different scones but had never tried making my own so I looked for a trustworthy recipe on the BBC website.

The recipe I am using here is theirs: it's easy to follow and the scones are perfect! Now I only have to attempt making clotted cream to enjoy Devon Cream Tea once again...

Special tip

You can add chocolate chips of raisins (make sure you soak the raisins in hot water for one hour before using them).
