Nigella’s Scones

A few days ago, I wrote about my search for an English scone recipe.  Specifically, the English scone recipe from my mom’s London memories.  Luckily, a friendly British, blogosphere neighbor, Kate gave me a link to a tried and true scone recipe (by the way, her blog, Coquette & Dove, is also a fantastic read, full of beautiful things you wish you had and beautiful people you wish you could look like).  The recipe comes from Nigella Lawson or the Domestic Goddess.  I’ve never tried any of her recipes but have always been very fond of her.  I immediately wanted to make them, but decided to wait a few days before baking another batch.  I knew I could eat scones for days, but I wasn’t sure if the rest of my family wanted to.  If my family didn’t eat them, then that means I would eat all of them, and that would end up being a very ugly site.  A lot of thought went into waiting a few days.
