(Note: recipe has been corrected - please use 1 cup of milk, not 2) These scones are lighter than many and easy to make. They tend to dry out after the first day, so store any left-overs in an airtight container. Over the years, my dad has made many variations on this recipe, substituting the currents with dried cranberries or dried strawberries and often adding lemon or orange zest. They're also great plain, if you're not a fan of dried fruit. I eat mine warm with butter and honey.

1 tablespoon vinegar
