I do love the old English recipes though. The names of the recipes alone are charming.<br />Your scones look and sound lovely and I love your creamy roses! Aren't you thankful for your wood pellet stove these days? I know I am! It's going to be a cold week so I will be drinking lots of hot tea. Thank you for coming to tea today.

I remember when I was a child my nanny would make what she called English Scones , however I recall the recipe being more of a bread or biscuit like, sweet bread, and no sugar on top , nor were they hard. They were more the consistency of a semi soft bread. Do you know of another traditional recipe that may fit this description ? Thank youAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
