Seeing as I'm Irish and I've baked them a million times before, I'm going to start with Scones. I have my Mother's recipe which is pretty good and definitely traditional. Hopefully they'll turn out o.k., although I haven't baked them in a few years and I have to guess the temperature of the oven in this flat as the numbers seem to have worn off.... Fingers crossed, they'll be Fantastic!!!
