If I can make one of these then you can, I have only been baking for a short while, and they make for great snacks, theyy can be savoury with cream cheese, or sweet with jam and clotted cream.

Love scones with blackberry Jam high5 great recipe thanks


Scones are always a winner! Here in the States, we generally refer to these as biscuits, which is what you call (what we call) cookies. Too funny. And momo_55grandma is right - can't go wrong with a little blackberry jam! Mmmmm! Great post. - Natalie
