Have often heard of it in an English context. I agree that the microwaved ultra-soft scones we get here can be a disappointment. Home-made/crunchy/hollow-sounding are best, served up wrapped in a checked cloth with butter (never margarine!).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704331870306959361.post-42484453637850322742011-10-16T02:56:21.352+01:002011-10-16T02:56:21.352+01:00I prefer home made anything....but, I lurve..lurve...I prefer home made anything....but, I lurve..lurve my own scones. I just made some the other day with raspberries in them...from a neighbour's garden. She gave me a little baggie of frozen ones and I am hoarding them for scones and muffins. <br />I don't know what the scones are like over there really....but,most I've had out here are dry and tasteless. I make mine nice and fluffy and don't even roll them out...I drop them in big blobs...and make them rustic looking. If you want to try my recipe check my food blog...and ..hey...send me yours...or print it out for us all to try.....BumbleVeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13272892605379537233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704331870306959361.post-57354626903741896182011-10-16T01:55:52.375+01:002011-10-16T01:55:52.375+01:00I haven't ever had clotted cream.

That is, I did, until recently. I've started a regimen of "sensible eating" - even before the government came out with its scary Podge Is Your Own Fault strategy. And it works! I'm delighted to say that I've lost the weight of at least one of the cats and the difference is beginning to be felt. I do like to look at photos of scones, though.Arthur Ransomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15775858936238630182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704331870306959361.post-1793861790172937312011-10-15T10:57:06.775+01:002011-10-15T10:57:06.775+01:00Cream doesn't do anything for me, either.Cream doesn't do anything for me, either.jabbloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12176958811589489979noreply@blogger.com
