One of the best ways to eat scones . Butter (never margarine), Some sort of berry jam, cream (whipped as we don't get clotted cream here but clotted if you do). Raisin scones - only butter. Wholewheat scones - butter and honey.
James Scone looks great but since there’s no recipe I’ll stick to Paul Hollywood’s one until you post me a recipe of James one to try. Paul uses strong flour for his with baking baking powder and so far no bad results with just good comments from the family. I’ve had one at a restaurant on a lake in Leeds and it’s great. Nice and golden and crusty on the outside but soft on the inside and a great taste, Waitrose sold one very similar but I’ve yet to come close to it in texture and taste.
eh a lot - buttermilk, shortening and butter, no sugar, no egg / no buttermilk, butter only no shortening, sugar, egg - then the toppings - sausage and gravy would never go on an English scone but it would on southern aka buttermilk biscuit @@CGC1949
