Another outstanding vote from me. I just love the lemon in this recipe. I trimmed the fat and sugar by replacing the sugar with Splenda, using 2 scant Tbsp of a heart healthy margarine, using egg white only and fat free coffee creamer for the double cream. My jam was no added sugar raspberry. I made it in one whole piece and baked that for 25 mins because I pressed the dough into an 8" circle on a Silpat like mat and didn't want to cut on that. Wonderful! -
These ar excellent! I used stawberry jam inside these for a lovely treat. The only "issue" I had was the jam seeped out bit, but that was because I was a bit over zealous with the jam. I did not knead the dough to even close to 1 minute to since I hear that over kneading scone dough can lead to dense and heavy scones. I just folded the dough over a few times and preceded with the rest of the recipe. It was a bit sticky and it was kinda hard to transfer them, but it was well worth it!

Yummy scone, interesting flavours with the bitter lemon zests and sweet jam. We really enjoyed this one for afternoon tea. Only change I made was I used an egg substitute and lactose free cream. I use Recipe #147120 as the jam since we had it at home. Thank you Aaliyah's mum

Stephen King and Dean Koontz are my all time favourite authors, and, of course, LOVE Calvin and Hobbes (does it show??!!) <br /> <br /> <img src=http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u82/aaliyahsmum_album/chch-atheist.gif alt= /> <br /> <br /> <img src=http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u82/aaliyahsmum_album/Untitled-1-1.jpg alt= /></p>
<p>I search for recipes that carry ingredients I can get hold of locally (or I have stocked in my cupboard!). Recipes I have posted are ALL tried and tested and have been enjoyed by all! So, I hope you and your family will enjoy as well! <br /> <br />My rating system is fairly simple. Since I only pick recipes that I know my family will enjoy (looking at the list of ingredients), it's either 5 or 4 stars, I do not go any lower. I may sometimes do a bit of tweaking but that is only due to my family's tastes. If I do have problems with a recipe or if it didn't turn out the way it should have done, then I just leave a comment without any rating. <br /> <br /><img src=http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u82/aaliyahsmum_album/Untitled-12.jpg alt= /></p>
