Scones - the aftermath

As I said they didn't have a chance to go stale - they did even go cold! They were a hit!

The plain ones were the surprise favorite due to their flexability regarding topping. The cheese and spinnich @ cheese were joint second while the cheese @ bacon bits were last (although I loved them!). That's not to say that they were bad just a matter of preference.

Lessons to be learnt
>Use a larger pinch of salt, especially if you use unsalted butter. If will take away a flour taste left over.
>Chop spinnich finer and maybe use fresher leaves - it'll turn the scone green! :)

Future ideas
>Spicey scones! Adding chillie powder! Might need cheese to counter balance flavours and textures.
>Stuffed scones. It should be possible to bury a surprise in the center of a plain scone - meat would work but it would have to be pre-cooked, cheese would be ok but not sure about jam as it might ooze out! Worth a try!
