Breakfast treats for mum: Eight fresh scones put to the taste test

A LOVELY start to Mother’s Day, fresh scones won’t tax the budget. Scones are a calorific luxury to be confined to treats, but what better occasion to indulge?

A savoury scone sandwiched with a rasher or slice of tomato will make a neat breakfast treat, or later in the day, serve cream and jam with freshly brewed tea or coffee and a big smile. She’s worth it.

Toasted seeds can be sprinkled on bought or homemade sweet and savoury scones and contrast beautifully with the sweetness of jam. Toasted almonds and hazelnuts are delicious too.
