Scones

Christmas morning is usually busy with opening gifts and preparing for the lunch celebrations with breakfast being neglected or even forgotten.  These scones are a perfect treat for Christmas morning breakfast and are super quick and easy.  Serve them with your favourite jam (strawberry for me) and lightly whipped cream.
