My Grandmother used to make scones all the time and they were so light and fluffy. I’m going to have to try this recipe and see how they compare to hers

Scones can be so easy !
I make ours with Gf flour, coconut yogurt, diary free butter, maple or coconut palm syrup instead of sugar and instead of sultana’s – fresh blue berries

I’ve heard of this- replaces the need for self raising or bi-carb.

The golden colour of these scones is the best.

I never make scones because it makes so many – can you freeze them?
