Scones have been replaced by the ubiquitous muffins in the last few years but now the tide is turning. Scones are having a revival but not the scones that we have become so familiar with over the past few years - dry, flat and hard. I am so often disappointed when I have occasionally treated myself to an afternoon tea of scones, jam and cream to be presented with a couple of small, hard biscuits with one or two sultanas added so they can be called fruit scones. 

I have been experimenting with scones and different flavours and have included this one to try. Let me know how you get on with it.
