English Scones

My ex-ex-boss just had his angioplasty, again. I had been thinking of him a lot lately. Told him that during my telephone conversation with him last Friday and he said no wonder he felt warmth.

He is my number one scones supporter. He said (out of being very kind I'm sure, and now suffer the consequences because I kept sending him scones from time to time.) that they are one of the best he had. The other day when he called, he told me his little "in search for scones" episode. He got this sudden crave for scones but were not able to get any after going to Dome Cafe, Starbucks and a few cafes. Some were some selling, others sold out.

So finally I decided to make him some. Assembled a scone gift pack together with some mini jam from Whittard, UK

Scones are very easy to make, electric mixer not required and baking time is only 15 minutes. Made some plain ones and some with raisins. They are best eaten warm with butter and jam. I tried it with honey and I liked that. S-Buddy likes it with peanut butter jam - weird taste but at least he had approved the scones recipe.

Sent off the scones to eeBoss' house before going to SPK for the combat launch. Gave some to Farid, Little Bro and Hobbes.
