Buttermilk Scones

Buttermilk Scones nestled in their tin fresh from the oven

Lily is off sick and had a hankering for a nice 'Cream Tea.'  She reads too  much Enid Blyton...next she'll be asking for a bottle of milk and some nice mackerel paste sandwiches.

Anyway, I used the method from the EDC - I didn't have quite enough buttermilk so I topped it up with ordinary milk.  I ended up having to use more flour as the mixture was very soft - amoebic even.

They turned out beautifully and I think this may replace my Woman's Weekly recipe favourite from now on.  Nothing nicer than a fresh scone jam and cream, except maybe toasted left-over scones with fresh butter and local honey.

If you haven't had a go at these I recommend them.  Let me know if you had to top up the flour or if you added some yummy bits and bobs.

Devonshire Tea...mmmmm
