Kita jarang buat scones di rumah kerana scones ni selalunya dikaitkan dengan English Hitea dan amalan hitea dimulakan zaman Queen Victoria lagi. Sudah menjadi kebiasaan kita akan terbawa-bawa kalau hendak buat scones ni hanya untuk hitea, sebenarnya kalau tekak sudah terasa hendak makan kita tidak payah tunggu sampai dijemput ke hitea baru nak buat scones, kerana membuatnya mudah, bahan yang digunakan pun mudah. Boleh diuat berbagai jenis dan bentuk. Sedap dimakan bersama krim atau pun jam.

Resipi scones ini saya ambil dari buku masak Chef Wan, cuma saya tambahkan madu untuk mendapatkan kelembapan.
