Unsalted butter, homemade strawberry jam, heavy whipped cream and afterwards you're left with your eyes rolling back in your head, drooling in ecstasy. She also makes a gorgeous fruit cake that has to count for 19 of your 5 a day and a cottage pie that can't be bettered. I have the best granny.

You can tell the difference from the lack of fruit or sugar and the fact that is essentially just flour water and heaps of butter and some salt. You know, a B I S C U I T. And not one of those fake british 'biscuits' either: you shove focking sausage, bacon, ham, smoked pork, jam if you want, more butter, etc. in between your biscuit halves to make a BISCUIT - but its like a "Sausage and Egg Biscuit" at that point, or a Chik Fil A Biscuit. Would you pour sausage gravy on top of a british biscuit? LIKE FCUK YOU WOULD. You don't slather gravy on a scone either my friend A scone is denser than a biscuit, uses far less butter, and almost certainly has berries in it and is coated most often in granulated sugar. How do you mess that up with a biscuit? Utter madness. The shame of you.

Flour, butter, buttermilk, fridge milk, and the tiniest bit of salt. Currants are always optional. That is how traditional Irish scones are made. Where are you going with your sugar? I can think of nothing more disgusting that sweet scones. Nothing.
