You will find our Mixed Fruit Scones to be soft and buttery with a gentle sweetness, each one studded with small chewy morsels of dried fruit. We put together these tender golden scones from flour, cold butter, sugar, whipping cream, lemon juice and an assortment of mixed dried fruits; they are quick to bake and make for a fine breakfast or brunch, something to have with your tea, or just a nice homemade snack in the evening.
