Scones are delicious baked goods, often served with cream and jam as part of a traditional cream tea. Originally from Scotland, they are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. The term “scone” originally referred to a round, flat, unleavened cake cooked on a griddle and cut into triangular wedges, known as a “bannock.” In Scotland, the terms are often used interchangeably.

Scones are lightly sweetened and typically served with clotted cream and strawberry jam, though there are many variations, including savoury versions.

Recipe Of The Month - December

And its the time for holidays and merrymaking to usher in a fresh new year! No better way of doing it than celebrating with this fresh sweet bread: Panettone. Originally from Milan, it has now become very popular across Europe, America, Australia and Canada.
