Hi - it doesn't specify which flour type. Is it plain white flour? Thanks Tania
Wonderful recipe! I've used it a couple of times now, and they come out perfectly every time. Thank you for sharing it!
Rather disappointed as this recipe seems to have the wrong temperature on it and I have a wasted batch of scones.
The scones from this recipe turned out FANTASTIC. I added some vanilla and orange zest to it though. Thank you for the recipe - love it.
