Basic Scones

I visited UK for work immediately after my marriage and stayed there alone for almost half of my first year. I wont say it was a pleasant experience, until one day DH informed that he is visiting me for a few weeks.
I made the new learnt scones and bought a few english muffins to go along and waited for him till he arrived.  

He was stay over with me for a week, but I kept feeding him with things one after the other and was eagerly waiting for his reactions. I dont think he noticed what he ate back then but now whenever I make these at home I keep reminding him about the london experience. Well...men never remember moments which are etched out so well in a woman's mind....

Coming to the recipe, very simple and are to be served fresh for the best taste...
