How to make scones

These scones have always been a fixture in my life. They can be rustled up in minutes with barely any ingredients. They were one of the first things I learned to make and are a great baking activity with children. So many people have learned how to make scones using this recipe and I love seeing all the photos of your afternoon teas and of children getting involved in making them.

Scones are best eaten with an hour of two of them being made. They freeze really well so you can make a batch and have a few more afternoon tea treats to look forward to. Just freeze them once they are cooled and then reheat them in a hot oven for 5 minutes. If reheating from frozen, leave them in for around 7 minutes.

You can find a recipe for lemon curd to go with these here.
