Afternoon Tea Special - Scones
Fresh from the oven, these deliciously fluffy scones are just perfect with homemade jam and fresh whipped cream. Enjoy with choice of teas.
Served on a beautiful Blue Willow pattern plate, made by Churchill of England, reminiscent of British tea drinking heritage in Australia.
The Willow pattern was derived from the ancient 400 year old Yu Garden in Shanghai. The pattern came into use some 200 years ago in England.

Having problems commenting? Use the contact form instead!These scones look terrific. I haven't eaten a scone since we were at the Two Old Ladies Tearoom in Pomona in the Sunshine Coast recently. Lovely place, good scones and heaps of teas to choose from. Your scones would fit right in!
Thanks for dropping by. There's nothing like homemade scones! Easily made in 15 minutes, and goof proof. The recipe is up.
Can this all be done so that I continue to eat health foods and organic ingredients?
