I thought Cornwall didn't have any motorways in it either
Edit, apparently there's 5 counties in total without motorways in them
Motor-ways… I have heard of these strange things.I'll see your Dorset county,and raise you North Wales...
I started to write out the recipe for scones, and then thought that surely there ought to be a decent one online ....

Granny's Scottish Scone Recipe is foolproof!
Here is a authentic Scottish scone recipe, handed down from our Highland forebears. To make the best scones you also need cold hands!

No, those are Welsh Scones
Actually I prefer mine with dried fruit in.
This year, the missus cooked courgette and fetta cheese scones - delicious; don't turn your nose up until you've tried them.
Pretty sure those are the same scones I've been making since before I went to school
I make cheese ones that don't last. All gone before they're cold
Son2 likes raisins in his scones, but they make it hard to cut them out neatly, so I usually just make those ones into a round and cut it into farls. I get two rounds on one baking tray so eight farls.
I admit I loathe the tasteless huge lumps of dough purporting to be scones that one finds in too many cafes....the hexagonal shaped things I mean. They look good, but they taste awful.
No wonder they need slathered in jam and cream.

I've never had that. But I will now. I'll try almost anything once. Right, off to the kitchen I go......Sliced bread with marmalade covered with sliced cheese was *the* jackpot snack at events when I was a kid.
Ah, but did the marmalade go on the cheese or vice-versa?Sliced bread with marmalade covered with sliced cheese was *the* jackpot snack at events when I was a kid.
Well...... I suppose my opinion on the jam vs cream vs marmalade vs cheese conflict is this........
The second it goes in my mouth, it all gets mashed up and tastes the same either way so personally, it doesn't bother me
.My only unit of measure or deciding factor in this argument is that there must be heaps of it. No point scrimping.
I miss my Nan’s (rip) fruited scones
Fresh out the oven with a dob of butter or a day later still fluffy with jam and cream.
Bliss.
A decent scone these days always brings back fond childhood memories.

While you're at it try having sausages with marmalade, that's a wonderful combo. Almost as good as having sausages with Damson JamI've never had that. But I will now. I'll try almost anything once. Right, off to the kitchen I go......
In my world scones baked with cheese in them are reserved for the bin.
Scones should be either plain or with dried fruit in them. If you want scones with cheese serve it on them with some marmalade
Cheese scones and marmite. Try it, if you like marmite it's loverly. Cheese scones don't last in my house either. They are gone before they are cold! Just butter unless I'm feeling naughty, in which case I get the marmite jar out, but usualy they are so good, I can't be bothered.
Havnt had a scone of any sort for many years due to now being g/f. I've tried g/f ones, but I'm no happier with them than the awful pap they call g/f bread.
My Cheese scones have won prizes at local shows. They need to be big, and made with lots of realy strong cheese.
I've made Stilton and red onion chutney scones. They are a revelation!

Stilton and red onion chutney scones sounds bloody gorgeous.
Straight out of the oven, still warm...yes please.

Recipe please! This thread has got me wandering if I should have a crack at making some myself.
