Afternoon tea is not complete unless traditional scones are on the table. Perhaps it is due to the tall looking and full of hope appearance that scone is the treat I always look forward most in a tea set. Most of the time, it starts off all good - full of motivation at first to slice open the scone, apply some clotted cream and jam, but as I get to half way through the scone, a bit of claggy dough may stick on the roof of my mouth. It is only then I usually realise that scones can be disappointing and regret of filling up my tummy so quickly that I can't have any more of other sweets. So can these be the perfect scones?
