The Perfect Great British Scones

We've recently started stocking Jams from Three Fruity Ladies just down the road and it got me thinking... nay... daydreaming about scones! What better way to enjoy some delicious homemade jam than when it's sandwiched between two warm.. buttery.. crumbly... crispy..... soft......... ok let's just get to the recipe. Original recipe here.

• Pinch of salt
• 50g caster sugar
