Scones
Fresh-baked scones with our traditional fruit Conserve are a delightful, simple treat.
Made from a batter of flour, sugar, baking powder, butter, milk or cream and eggs, scones are light and moderately sweet – making them ideal for showing off the flavours of Bonne Maman!
The Conserve can be used as a topping or mixed in with the batter and baked into scones for an even more flavourful version.
Mixing the ingredients together properly is the key to making scones.
It works best to hand mix the dough to avoid over mixing, which can make scones too hard or flaky.
