Simply scrumptious scones
I absolutely love afternoon tea (as anyone who follows this blog will know). And what is no afternoon tea complete without? Scones! Now, I feel that scones are one of those foods that everyone has their own recipe for- however there seems to be a huge amount of variations online.

These scones were the perfect way to celebrate the occasion and required a smaller amount of each ingredient- ideal if you’re having trouble getting flour.
