Yesterday was a grey and awful day. The kind where I still have fleeting second thoughts about leaving the California sunshine for England and her dreich weather. (Dreich is a wonderful Scottish word that I picked up from my good friend Andy. It means bleak & dreary and is fun to say.)
Dreich days call for a sweet treat and a cup of something hot. These Simple Scones don’t use any fancy ingredients and come together really quickly. The hardest part is not eating them too-fresh out of the oven. You really do need to wait about 10 minutes or you’ll burn your tongue. If you don’t eat the whole batch right away (and you probably shouldn’t) they reheat well with about 20 seconds in the microwave or a few minutes in foil in a medium oven.
Being American, I don’t feel particularly strongly about which goes first: jam or cream. My husband is in the jam-first camp, so that’s what we do at our house. You do you, baby.
