English Biscuits
Description
My children have recently taken to a new favourite Sunday breakfast—English scones. Fortunately, English scones are quite easy to make, so on Sundays I happily get baking. The scones go very well with milk, jam, or honey—a perfect English-style breakfast, in my opinion. Serve cold or slightly warm.
