This is my first ever scones recipe. I have made it before, it is a candied ginger flavoured one. But i didn’t take pictures of it. So i decided to make for this season and share it. This is a basic irish scones recipe and it taste amazing. So buttery and delicious.

You can serve this with jam and whipped cream, it taste amazing. I will be sharing a eggless version soon.
