Luxury scones

A Sunday with scones is like a Sunday should be. When I lived in London London, I had my regular spot where I would plop down on weekends. The scones were still warm with a huge dollop of clotted cream and a smear of jam on top. A good cup of coffee alongside and you don't know what you're experiencing. These luxury scones are so intensely delicious that you can skip the clotted cream and jam. Believe me: they will change your life forever.
