Delicious Tea Scones

Submitted by Lieutenant Ducky

"These are great scones for company, they're really easy and quick to pull together and get eaten in a flash because they are SO good. They are best served hot with jam or marmalade on top. I found this recipe on the web, made a few changes, and have been using it ever since!"

These are very good and have a very nice crumb. I will make these again and I'm anxious to try them with added candied ginger or dried cranberries, perhaps. Thanks for posting this!
