A nice scone recipe that can be frozen before baking. If you place the scones on a tray and pop them into your freezer overnight before transferring to freezer bags, these scones can then be cooked directly from frozen. Very handy if you only have a few people in your household. Otherwise if these are for an event go ahead and make a whole load of these little scones.
