MY GIRLS' SCONES

This scone recipe is another that the girls made as part of Cooking at school so they were very keen to show me how well they can make scones. So all the credit for making these scones sits solely with my beautiful girls.I am so proud at the effort they put in making these, and as you can see from the photo they turned out very well. The irony however is that despite growing up watching my Mum make scones, I have never made them myself. It is on my list of things to make but as you can see, the girls beat me to it!!
