Well, I am back with a very nice quick recipe. Life has been pretty busy lately with travelling, sister’s wedding, Ramadan, Eid, toddler and work. Nevertheless, blogging was and still is one of my comforting aids and I love to share my experiments in kitchen.

Scones in my humble opinion are cross between cake and cookies. It basically uses raising agents to puff them up. Traditionally eaten in breakfast, they are also perfect for light midday snack. What I loved about them is that they are not overly sweet and breeze to make. You can freeze them as well and bake when required. Best eaten on the same day like other scones primarily due to presence of generous amount of leavening agents.
