Simple Scones

Have made Scones twice in previous years, but have forgotten how too make Scones . I looked up the Word Scones on the Internet and I came across a American Style of making Scones . The Scones are triangular in shape and their are sugar within the Scone dough and a sprinkling of sugar on top - once the raw Scone has been formed and then you cut it into 8 triangles before putting them individually onto a Baking Tray with Baking Parchment Paper underneath

Eat them warm straight from the oven, or allow too cool and then store them in a Air tight container at room temperature for 2 days, or store in the Air tight container within the Fridge for 1 (One) week. Alternatively place on a cold Baking Tray and then freeze them overnight and then place them all into the same Freezer Bag and keep them frozen for 3 months before using them up
