Scones feel like such a good treat to wake up and enjoy with a big cup of tea.
Today we are sharing a simple recipe for wholegrain spelt flour scones….we used a combination of white and brown spelt flour to make the texture light yet wholesome. The Pu’erh Ninja glaze adds a delicious sweetness so we opted for making the scones themselves sugar free; an option to include sugar is provided.
