Bat Rabbit's Super Secret Scone Recipe

Scones are a must.  They must be light with a crumble but they must keep there shape.  I have spent many years perfecting my scone recipes.  The the first time EVER, I am sharing it.

Scones are traditionally served with afternoon tea and accompanied by jam and clotted cream. You can add a variety of treats into the batter, such as raisins, fresh apple bits, orange peel, cranberries, and chocolate chips, although I prefer plain. At Bat Rabbit’s, we usually serve raspberry, currant or strawberry seedless jam and fresh whipped cream with our scones.
