This is what our kids lack these days. They only looked downwards and not upwards. I think very soon, chronic neck problem will be affecting our next generation.
Anyway, I had a sudden crave for scone and since now I am too far away from my favorite scone shop, I just have to make my own. After moving out of that area for nearly 3 years plus, I wonder whether the old lady is still selling her awesome buttery scones. My friend C told me that she tried this recipe and she likes it alot, so here is my turn to attempt.
Findings: As I prefer more buttery scones, I increased my butter quantity. The scone is light and fluffy. My neighbor commented that it is very good.
Definitely a keeper.
