Scone abomination

I picked up a scone for myself, raisin, natch. Kept it for a cuppa after a long and difficult meeting. I made the perfect cup of tea and the butter gods smiled on the spreadablility of the ideal amount. I took a delicious bite. Only to find that it wasn't a raisin scone, it was chocolate chip and the scone itself was orange flavoured. What sort of monster has taken over my favourite bakery counter?

Bloody hell. I'll eat almost anything but even I leave the raspberry ruffles! The idea of finding one in a scone .... well, I've run out of words.

There is an absolutely hysterical thread, now in Classics, which was one of the first things I ever read on Mumsnet, with the title "Which is the tastiest Protestant traybake?" - scones also get a look in about halfway through, but be warned, it does contain people who think raspberry ruffles scones are ace!

I make choc chip scones...but, I do tend to think chocolate make baking better. 😋
