Scones are ultimate comfort food and can be simply made using either soda bread or cake making self raising flour. Depending on whether they鈥檙e sweet or savoury. The addition of vanilla to sweet scones is excellent, and when combined with pear and almond, apple and cinnamon, plum and cardamon, or the ever popular white chocolate and raspberry, makes such a difference to the flavour.

If using soda bread self raising flour, options such as bacon and brie, Irish herbs and cheddar or goats cheese, thyme and spring onion are great.听
