Scones are for Afternoon Tea, not Breakfast!

• Although traditionally served on fine china and silver utensils, the proper way to eat a scone is with your fingers!

• Gently break the scone apart with your hands. Never use a knife!

• What goes on first, the clotted cream or the jam? This question has sparked a century-old debate. Choose your preference!

• Use the spreader knife, not your teaspoon, to apply cream and jam. Apply to one bite-sized portion at a time, not all at once!

• When you have a bite of a “dressed” scone, pick it up and eat it. Remember, one bite at a time!

Here are a few ways to add a scone to your culinary repertoire:

• Mid-morning with tea or a latte

• A quick snack

• A light dessert

• A savory side

Your taste buds will jump for joy at this indulgence! As you sink your teeth into this small cake-like biscuit, close your eyes and sigh with gratitude at the delightful explosion of sweet sensations and tasty layers of textures taking place all at once in your mouth!

My son, Justin, has launched a family tradition, making this Scone recipe every New Year's Day! They are so delicious, we rarely take the time to follow the appropriate Scone etiquette! They just don’t last long enough for all the pomp and circumstance!
