About

‘You cannae beat a good scone!’ is what our manager Claire says, much to our amusement! This recipe is top notch; these savoury scones would make my nana grin from ear to ear and that’s saying something – she was a total savoury scone snob.

The more the butter is mixed into the flour, the better; you cannot over do this part of mixing the scones. Make sure you have a proper breadcrumb consistency with no lumps of butter.
