About

Regula Ysewijn is a Belgian food blogger (her blog is Miss Foodwise), graphic designer and photographer, who is in love with British food culture. Her dream is to end up in the English countryside rearing pigs!

These buns are a traditional regional alternative to the classic scone. A classic way of preparing them is called ‘Thunder and Lightning’: split the freshly baked buns in half and fill with golden syrup or black treacle and Cornish clotted cream.
