Comforting Scones

When the rain outside is lashing down and my mood is low I turn to baking. These sultana scones took less than 30 minutes to make from start to finish. Recipe from here.

I substituted the flour for wholemeal self-raising and brushed the tops with single cream. Split while they are still warm and spread with butter or clotted cream and jam. Delicious!

  2. We had a miserable day here too!Your scones look lovely - mine are never as good as they should be. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Maybe I'll try your recipe.

  4. These look very perfect for the first of October. Oh, lovely- I'm sure I can catch the aroma all the way here! We're having a birthday weekend, so nothing beyond the basic bun/cake mixture tonight!

  11. Your scones look great - nicely risen and even. I too resorted to baking in the rain ysterday. Sort of comforting, isn't it? Warms up the kitchen too!
