Great Teatime resource!

Great recipes for scones and biscuits.
I used this book all of the time when I was just out of college

and wanted to replace it after losing my other one in the flood after Hurricane Katrina. My husband and I made scones every Sat. morning for a while when we were younger, and it has some of my favorites. I love the lemon scones (a variation of the plain scone).
Simple and Delectable
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I found this book in a library many years ago. After trying several recipes, I decided I needed to own it. Every single recipe was fast and easy (especially if done in a food processor) and made me look like a domestic goddess! At least three of my friends have bought this book as a result of the scones I've made for them. I also like the book of Pancakes and Waffles by Elizabeth Alston. If she ever writes a book entirely on small meals for two, I'll be first in line with cash in hand!
Easy, perfect scones and shortcakes
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
After tasting yummy scones with creme fraiche and berry preserves at a high tea in London, I borrowed this book from a friend and tried several recipes. Breakfast Berry Shortcakes (p. 18) are the best ones I've very eaten, although sinfully laden with butter. And I've never before found a recipe for creme fraiche (p. 19), so much more delicious on scones than plain whipped cream. The raisin scones and simple sweet scones lived up to the ones I ate in Britain. There are complete directions and discussions with each recipe.
