Everyday Tea Time Scones

It's time for our #BakingBlogger reveal, and this month the theme is Scones. 

I thought I'd share a basic recipe for Scones, nothing fancy, just a Scone you can split and top with Devon Cream (if you can find some) and Jam.  Although, personally, I like them topped with some butter and jam.  Or just butter.
It's all good.

These are the kind of scones you can find on any self respecting tea table in England.  Simple, basic and so good to eat.    I got the recipe from my Dairy Book of Home Cookery and then tweaked the recipe a bit.

Mainly cause I'd made some Creme Fraiche and still had some in my fridge that needed to be used before I slathered it on my hips.
Just kidding.
Although they do taste amazing with just some butter and Black Currant Jam.
