Made for PAC spring 2008. These scones turned out well, it is a very versatile recipe. I made cheese scones, by adding 1 cup of grated cheese. I was a little confused by the recipe, I wasn't sure if I was supposed to put the egg and dash of milk in the dough or brush on top. After looking at another scone recipe I opted to put them in the dough. I also had to add quite a bit of flour while kneading the dough, probably close to 1/2 cup. But they turned out really nice. You could make any kind of scones with this basic recipe. I think I will try it with blueberries next :) Thanks.

<br>Having come from a house full of cooks (both parents ran a catering company) I have been around food all my life.

<br>I really love food.. both sweet and savoury but I primarily cook desserts. I cook everything from scratch and sell my cupcakes under my catering company Mortar & Pestle.
