Expert Tips

  • Tip 1
    We have the Scots to thank for scones. This Scottish quick bread is said to have been named for the Stone of Destiny, where Scottish kings were once crowned.
  • Tip 2
    Not into raisins? Go ahead and replace them with your favourite dried fruit. (Cut dried apricots and other large dried fruits into smaller pieces before adding to the batter.)
