Good scones require few ingredients, but you need quick hands to work the flour, butter and cream into a firm dough. This traditional recipe (note: this is not the favoured Country Women’s Association three-ingredient scone base) has the addition of brandied fruit, which makes it an ideal ‘festive season’ treat. The citrus and spices are delicious!
These scones are best served warm. You can, however, store them for a couple of days in an airtight container.
