Orange Marmalade Scone Ring

Orange Marmalade Scone Ring

I have love Enid Blyton stories!!

You don't know Her? 

For those who do not do not know her, she was an British author who has churned out books that are enjoyed by kids from babyhood to teenage.

But  coming back to Enid Blyton books my favourite were Famous Five. They went camping,solved strange cases etc. all on their own and  always used to eat scones, tea cakes, ices…

But natural I had to make this scone.

I started out with the homemade plum jam that Vivek had given, but last minute I changed my mind. Wish I had not, I would have had lovely contrast not to mention everyone loves the jam. 

Vivek are you listening?
