Scones
Is there anything better than a fresh scone, with jam and cream?!
I think not! I’ve had many people remake these scones and tell me that it is the best recipe they have used, so I’m sure you will love them too!
Scones are such a quick & easy dessert to whip up when you’re feeling like them or if you have guests coming over.
If you try them and love them, let me know in the comments!
