Easy Scones

Let me tell you basic ingredients or not it is the most delicious scones you will eat. You don’t always need buttermilk to make scones. My 13-year-old, who hardly eats anything I bake, couldn’t get enough of these scones. He spread Nutella on them and ate it as a snack. I’m not a Nutella fan but I guess my scones were getting eaten so I wasn’t complaining. Usually I have to give the stuff away. I am definitely team scone. Give me scones any day of the week and I’m happy:-) For me the best way to eat them is with a spread of butter. I don’t mind the odd cream and jam but plain butter is good for me.

Tips to make perfect scones

You can of course substitute the milk for fresh cream or buttermilk if you wish. You can also use margarine instead of butter. Although I must admit that butter definitely add that extra deliciousness to scones.  I personally use salted butter for most of my baking. If you are using unsalted butter you may need to add some salt. Scones don’t require much sugar, at least in my books. I therefore always add minimal sugar.  Often my family will have it with jam so that creates enough sweetness. You can also add some raisins to the dough if you wish.  Add some cheese and herbs and make a savoury scone.
