Tea, please!

Autumn means tea time for me. I'm not a big tea drinker, at leat not during spring and summer but when the gray, rainy and dark autumn arrives I always find my tea pot and brew a whole big pot of hot tea for the whole evening. 

Lately I have been into some British suff...reading Ann Cleeve's books and watching Escape to the Country on BBC. At some point both of those end up drinking tea and eating scones. So I thought, why not, I shall bake some scones as well. I don't know if this is a real scones recipe. It's from the American Culinary Academy book. So, if you feel like you are in hold of a better and more original recipe and feel like sharing it, please, do. I will give a try for sure. 

With this recipe the scones turned out quite nice as well. I actually baked only small part of them and rest of the ready formed scones I froze down unbaked. That way I can later just take a couple of them out whenever I feel like eating one. Let it defroze and pop in the owen and enjoy with freshly brewed hot tea.
