Sweet Scones Worthy of a Downton Abbey Afternoon Tea ...

By Neecey • Mar 13, 2015

When you come to the UK, you really can't go home without having experienced a traditional cream tea (preferably in Devon or Cornwall where the clotted cream is sublime). Having said that, you will probably learn that we stick to a few varieties of scone - plain, sultana, cherry and cheese. And they're always round in shape. When it comes to American scones, the variety is huge and I've seen more triangular shapes than round ones. I've pulled together a whole menu of sweet scone recipes for you to drool over.
