a little bit savoury | a whole lot sweet
Reader warning: This recipe is in no way healthy for you (well, most of the recipes on this site aren’t healthy, but this one especially). It is full of potato, cream, breadcrumbs and cheese but my goodness is it tasty.
I do not make this very often, and only when we have people over to share it around, but it is one of my little brother’s favourites.
Now I am a scone lover from way back. Growing up, I remember going to my Nan’s house to make scones, or help her eat the one’s that she had just finished baking. Smelling them as I walked through the front door and seeing them on top of the stove wrapped in a tea towel waiting to cool is one of the most vivid things I remember about my time cooking with Nan.
One of the places on my “to visit” list has been The Victoria Tea Salon in the new Westfield shopping centre after reading about it on Not Quite Nigella’s blog. I am not a tea drinker, but given my love of all things sweet and cute, I was ensuring we were able to go on our recent trip to the big smoke to savour their scones.
