Rich Fruit Scones

The BHS Show may not be going ahead this September but we’ll be back bigger and better than ever next year 😃🙌 .

As well as the flower, veg and craft categories we always have lots of delicious baking entries & we’ve found the perfect recipe for you to practice making show-worthy fruit scones. Delicious, light and made extra tasty with a splash of milk from local dairy Low Springs Milk Baildon😋🐄
