Awesome English Tea Scones

---

I serve these wonderful tea scones with homemade strawberry jam and devonshire clotted cream and they are the highlight of the afternoon tea i serve my guests. Incredibly easy to make and fast to disappear. I hope you'll try them and if you don't have clotted cream available, serve whipped heavy cream with jam of your choice. Enjoy!!
