Folks, it’s International Scone Week!
Here is my simple contribution for 2015 – Small Man’s favourite buttermilk scones. He’s in the middle of a HSC trial exam today, and has told me he’s really looking forward to these when he gets home…
International Scone Week is now hosted by the lovely Tandy of Lavender and Lime. Please see her post on how to join in and check out all the wonderful scones baked so far!
I can imagine the pleasure Small Man had when coming home to a plate of these. I hope his exams go well for him.
Scones are so underrated, delicious
they look lovely celia. hope you are feeling okay. i know the grief takes a long time to settle but it does ease in time. all the best.
How lovely to see this post pop up in my emails. No scones from me this year but I look forward to seeing everyone’s contributions. Good wishes to small man in his exams.
A – morning tea is on the way. And I’ll be taking inspiration from my grandmother who was a dreadful cook, but knew how to turn out scones!
Look great Celia!
Can’t wait to try them.
Have a Joyful Day :~D

How thoughtful of you to make his favorite scones for after exams. They look wonderful….
Damn, I really want to make scones but I won’t be able to til next week!
Thank you for taking the time to post a recipe! I made your lemonade scones this weekend using gingerale and they were amazing xx
Ah yes, time for Yet Another Annual Effort for Rose to Make a Decent Scone.
Is there anything nicer than a good scone?! Perhaps… but they are certainly up there… we had so many in the UK, goodness! Take care darling one xx
There’s nothing like a warm scone in the morning , or morning tea, or lunch or afternoon or dinner or a late night snack…. ( oh what? All finished??.. I’ll have to make some more in the morning… Hehe)
Small home comforts and routines like baking and eating together help us through the tough times in a small way. Good luck to him with the exams – it’s results day today for the 18 year olds in our life, waiting to see if they have the grades to go to their choice of Uni. Love to you all x
I’m all ready for a scone cooking weekend and am very excited too as its my first attempt at baking them. Hope Small Man was okay with HSC Trials too. I’m sure he was delighted to have your scones as an after school treat. Take care and go gently and as I bake I’m sending out loving thoughts for all our cherished ones that cannot be with us.
great that you got to have scones in ISW even in such a busy and stressful time
Celia, these scones would definitely be something to look forward to — they look fabulous! Yesterday during a “virtual tea break” with some friends in the UK I mentioned that it’s International Scone Week and they were delighted to hear it. (Shared your link in their G+ hangout comment section.) Happy scone making and eating, and continued hugs to you & yours! xo
Definitely something to look forward to coming home to. After our pumpkin scones the other day I get the feeling my boys would look forward to coming home to scones after school which FINALLY starts again next Wednesday!
I’m sure small man will thoroughly enjoy those Celia. I will make some for The Management, who also enjoys a scone or two, for Scone Week.
Good luck Small Man in your coming trials.
These look perfect, Celia. I’ll make some scones this weekend and think of you…hope you are OK. Good luck for the trials! Love Jaqi x
What beautiful scones made with love Celia! I would love to enjoy one right now with my tea!
What a lovely Mama you are and am sure small man thought so too :)
They look so yummy. How fabulous to walk out of an exam and know that there is a baked-with-love-treat waiting. I hope the trials bring Small Man some comfort for the real deal :)
