Chef's tips:

  • Scones are great for lunch boxes you can split them and fill with sandwich filling or serve alongside soups and curries as a bread alternative.
  • Scones need to eaten the same day as they don’t keep very well, but you can split them and toast them for breakfast or a quick snack.
