This is my recipe for easy scones that melt in your mouth and rise perfectly. They are perfect with jam and clotted cream, but you can have them however you like. See footnotes for variations.
There are some variations you could try: 1. Reduce the amount of sugar and replace with raisins or sultanas; 2. Add some cherries or dried apricots; 3. Use milk purely instead of egg and milk if you dislike milk.
Loved this receipe! Last time I attempted scones they came out dry and flat but with this receipe once you follow the precise instructions you get the result, fab, fat, risen tasty scones! Thanks to The Young Baker for posting this receipe! - 18 Oct 2015
