If your idea of a scone is the bland, shitty wedge they serve at Starbucks, you need to get yourself a proper scone.

I make scones from time to time, but I'm still tweaking my recipe.

Very tasty fresh out of the oven with butter and jam. Of course, it's hard to get real buttermilk in Korea, so I have to resort to a lemon juice/milk mixture.
