The humble scone originated in Scotland in the early 16th century. They could be cooked in an open fire, or with a griddle. They were a lot denser than the scones we know today!
The introduction of baking powder transformed them into much lighter, fluffier, oven-baked treat.
And truly – there is nothing finer than a freshly made, home-cooked, warm scone with jam and cream!
The Bangalow CWA will be serving up Devonshire Teas at the Bangalow Show on Friday 13, and Saturday 14 November from 10am to 1pm. Signature jams, clotted cream, and delicious home-made scones will be paired with the perfect cuppa.
Savoury scones and gluten-free scones will also be available.
Get yourself a delicious treat at the Scout Hall at the Bangalow A&I Hall entrance to the show.
