To tell you the truth I don’t remember this scone too clearly except that it was a life-saver. I was taken over all peculiar in an antiques shop in Corbridge, possibly due to low sugar level, and needed an instant injection of scone-related product. This we found just down the road at Truffles Tea Rooms.

A pleasant small town classic tea-shop doing all the good things that pleasant small town classic tea-shops do, including a range of scone types including this classic. Not exceptional, just a good standard classic scone, served up with a blob of butter (no clotted cream) and good standard strawberry jam. For restorative reasons, and because it was morning, I had a cup of coffee with it. Quite satisfying and just what was needed. After ingesting, we went on our way much improved.
