Good stuff! I went to England this summer and had my first ever afternoon tea with a scone, and it was absolutely delicious I thought I'd try and make my own last weekend. I might have deviated from the norm though - I found a website full of random scone recipes here and made 3 different ones! My friends were so happy when I brought them round for tea and scones, complete with real whipped cream. Terrific fun!

yum! I was inspired to make these yesterday based on your photos and they were every bit as tasty as I was hoping. Thanks for the recipe.

These look fantastic, Yummmmm…and the photographer is a pro too.
Dried cherries are really good in scones too, I love the ginger idea too.

Those do look good. My favorite scone recipe is this one (http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Ginger-Scones-104666), if you ever want to experiment. I love your jewelry–I’ve never seen any quite like it. I am so glad you stopped by TSP, and would love to know more about your grandfather, if you ever write about him anywhere–I’m a big fan of his work.

Oh! Those look SO good! They would certainly chase away any rainy day blues.

1/4 cup of milk (little extra may be needed)
2 tsps of vanilla
1 tsp or more of finely grated lemom zest

Heat Oven 400
Combine dry ingredients
cut butter into dry ingredients with pastry cutter until it is almost like cormeal
Add the raisins
In another bowl, whisk the egg, milk, vanilla +lemon zest

Bake 12-15 minutes.

I serve them warm with orange marmalade.
