As I mentioned
before, it was my Grandad’s birthday recently, and he is seriously the hardest
person to buy presents for! I mean, what do you buy someone who already has
everything they need?! After a lot of thinking and fruitless shopping trips, I
finally decided to make him up a hamper of fancy tea, posh jams, clotted cream
and some homemade scones - an ‘Afternoon Tea’ Hamper if you will. I knew he
loves fruit scones, but I couldn’t decide whether to make them with raisins or
glacier cherries, so I ended up doing both. These are super easy to make, and
the end result is very light scones, studded with lots of fruity goodness! I
soaked the raisins in whiskey for an hour before adding them to the dough, for
an added kick.
