Scones are a very English thing. The German translation for scone is English tea roll, or something along those lines. The English people have with their afternoon tea. This tea session is not to be confused with the supper or dinner that the English also call “tea” sometimes. At the scones tea session you actually have a cup of the same and a scone. Everything understood so far?
For some reason, I never came across scones when I lived in England as an au-pair girl. Perhaps afternoon tea wasn’t big in the family I stayed with. Apparently they have it with something called clotted cream…. not sure what exactly that is. It’s probably only available in England.
Anyway, here in Dubai they also have scones. I like them, as you can bake them sweet or not so sweet and then add butter jam or honey.
Until this morning, I actually never thought of making them myself. When I came across a couple of scone recipes I wanted to make them.  I threw a few recipes together and out came some lovely cranberry walnut scones. I had them straight out of the oven, while my visiting sister had them with butter and honey. They were really tasty and I just love the fact that he whole thing is actually a healthy treat.
