Tried this recipe?Mention @HuangKitchen or tag #huangkitchen!
The scones are baked in preheated oven until they rise appreciably until golden brown.
Cool the scones briefly on wire rack
Or let them cool completely. Then freeze them in plastic bags. Frozen scones will keep for months.
But, we don’t want to freeze all of them, do we? We want to eat some of them right away!
This tender English Cream scone is certainly light, moist, fluffy and buttery.
Like ” melt in your mouth” scones.
With jam and a pat of butter, these scones are sure to impress anyone ……. but most of all YOURSELF
SO ENJOY!
