You'll be waiting a long time, I don't think they can open doors.

I know I'll regret this, but do you (or anyone) actually have a good recipe for scones? Being newly retired and just thinking about getting more into making stuff, scones quite appeal. They're easy, aren't they?

They're easy, aren't they? Mary Berry is your Queen when it comes to scones. www.maryberry.co.uk/recipes/baking/devonshire-sconesI use her basic recipe, cut ingredients in half for 6 at a time baking. Notch the temp down to 180 and time in to 30 minutes. Leave the scones for 30 minutes to prove before baking. To this I add dried fruit for fruit scones, or grate some blue cheese on top before baking for cheese scones.

Great, thanks for that, really helpful. I'll have a go in a day or two and see if they get the Mrs C seal of approval.
Devonshire? Who says Devonshire other than Americans?

The Duchess of Devonshire
or Debo, such a nice lady. Met her once when she and the Duke were ensconced at Chatsworth. Think I might have bowed and called her something more like 'your grace'. Anyway, being ensconced, she obviously knew how to make scones...
