It is getting close to Auntie Susie's birthday. She has the same one as my daughter, so of course we are thinking about her more often. Auntie Susie is my husband's sister who has lived in England with her family for quite a number of years. We don't get to see them very much, which is sad because her kids are closest to my kids in age of all the cousins.
Susie gave us this scone recipe before we had kids. Probably about 15 years ago. Every time my husband makes it people rave about how tasty these scones are.
They are a perfectly balance in texture. Not a soggy mush of butter, not a dry crust of bread... these are delicious on their own, or with a little butter and jam.
So enjoy these one cool weekend morning, and don't let Susie know we gave you the recipe...
