These light and fluffy cakes, often best paired with a cup of tea, have been a subject of controversy for years, especially when it comes to the fillings and what order you put them on.
However, everyone can agree that they are delicious - and Mary Berry's recipe, which only requires a handful of ingredients, is said to be 'perfect' for whipping up some teatime treats. The baking icon shared her scone recipe on Mary Berry's Fantastic Feasts on the BBC , and it's been described as the 'perfect easy tea-time treat'. It's ideal if you have friends or family coming over, as the recipe should make 16 scones in total.
They should keep for around a couple of days in an airtight container, but if they taste a little stale, simply warm them up with the oven on low for a few minutes. The recipe also takes under 30 minutes to prepare. Before you start, you'll need a fluted 5cm/2in cutter to create the scone's shapes, and you'll also need to preheat your oven to 220C/200C .
