About

A basket of buttery British-style scones, a pot of homemade strawberry jam, and a steaming cup of tea is welcome any time of the day. Serve these currant-studded delights at a casual Sunday breakfast or as an afternoon treat after a day of wine tasting. You can leave out the currants if you prefer, and you can skip the jam in favor of clotted cream or lemon curd.
