Elderflower Drizzle Scones
With elderflowers in season at the moment and I have been making Elderflower and Lemon Cordial I have been experimenting with different recipes to use my cordial in. I have used my own Cordial in this recipe, however you can use whatever is available to you. I do find shop brought Cordial sweeter then mine.
This recipe will make 6 x 65mm scones or 4 x 75mm scones or a large round cut into 8 wedges. Continue reading “Elderflower Drizzle Scones”
