For these scones I have used my family’s favourite nibble – chocolate raisins. I found, because of the large size of the chocolate raisins, I needed to add more in weight so each scone had a respectable amount of the chocolaty goodness.
This recipe will make about 6 x 65mm scones or 4 x 75mm scones Continue reading “Chocolate Raisin Scones”

Lemon and honey is such a perfect combination, and in the heat of the summer lemon is so refreshing.
I used a plain runny honey, however if you favour honey that is more floral then the flavour will be much more enhanced. Continue reading “Honey and Lemon Scones”
A perfect accompaniment to Cheese is Marmite. I realise you either love marmite or hate it. To be honest I do have to be in the mood for marmite, however the addition of marmite to these cheese scones really lifts the flavour.

I have used just one teaspoon of marmite in these scones, however if you are a real marmite adorer please feel free to add more! Continue reading “Cheese and Marmite Scones”

All of my scones start with my Great Nanny’s recipe, she never liked the taste of too much baking powder, which some scone recipes can have, so, like her I use an alternative raising agent – a mixture of cream of tartar and bicarbonate of soda.
Once this basic scone mix has been mastered and is to your liking then you can add different flavours and fruits. Continue reading “Scones”
I have always used my Great Nanny’s recipe for making scones, she never liked the taste of too much baking powder, which some scone recipes can have, so always used an alternative raising agent – a mixture of cream of tartar and bicarbonate of soda.
Once the basic scone mix has been mastered and is to your liking then you can add different flavours and fruits. I have added coffee and walnut this time. Continue reading “Coffee and Walnut Scones”
