The Great Scone v Biscuit Debate

I am SO craving biscuits and gravy... and scones and clotted cream... and biscuits and honey butter... mmmmmm.......

dont tell me you've never had honey butter before!! 

It is exactly what it sounds like... butter and honey whipped together and used as a spread!  You get it in some restaurants and probably every bagel shop in California.  It's brilliant on cornbread and on buttermilk biscuits.

No!! I've never heard of such a heavenly invention!!! I want some now!!!!

I think butter and honey are a heavenly combo!  Have you ever had honeycomb butter?  OMG!

Incidentally, the best scone ever is our Yorkshire fat rascal (of course!).  I've found a photo of one on t'internet - it's the one on the left.

I don't know, Carolyn. It looks fruity? I don't like fruit in my scones. I'm a scone purist.   

Yes, it's fruity & nutty & lovely & cinnamony.

And after that, my MIL's cheese scones are the next best, but they are cheesy & much smaller than a fat rascal.

I don't fancy plain scones too much.
