Grapefruit Scones

Scones are the perfect treat for afternoon tea, to have with a cup of coffee or tea or to share with others. I love scones and their buttery soft texture. Because scones don’t involve too many ingredients, you can play around with the flavours and still end up with a great scone. I baked grapefruit scones with cardamom drizzle and they were delicious.
