Scones

Autumn, Bread and buns, English, Fingerfood, recipe, Spring time, Summer, Winter time

Scones are typical english! They are eaten at tea time with double cream and a marmelade, black tea with a drop of milk.

We have scones mostly on weekends for breakfast. Warm with butter melting… I love it with jam. Just delicious!!!

My husband enjoys it with butter and cheese (preferably cheddar 🙂 ).

Our kids love it with everything!

The dough is easy and fast to prepare and baked.

This is the family recipe from Mauritius. It has been handed down over the last years and everyone in the family bakes them. From Mauritius to Australia to England over to Gemany/Austria.
