Best Scones Ever
What makes a perfect scone?
Scones are British quick breads (although originally from Scotland) and traditionally served during a High Tea with fruit preserves and Devonshire cream.
A scone should be crispy and rich on the outside like a homemade cookie. It should be light and fluffy on the inside like your favourite cake. It should taste buttery, creamy, sweet, flakey and crunchy all at the same time. It should also have strong yet simple flavours to compliment your favourite topping of choice.
I've often found scones with one or two of the components above, but never with all of the above...until now.
The Scone Witch in Ottawa, as the name implies, has mastered the art of scone making so successfully you will think you were bewitched.
My favourite are the vanilla cream and lemon poppy seed scones. They also have savoury scones like cheddar and herb and make their own fruit preserves.
If you are in or near Ottawa make sure to enjoy these witchy treats!
