RUM RAISIN SCONES WITH RUM BUTTER GLAZE
These were so lovely. Ian and I finished them within 24 hours! It's so good to have scones again! It takes me back to my childhood and visits to Franschhoek Hotel in the Cape Province of South Africa, where my sister and I would sometimes be treated to scones. Here is a look at Franschhoek (CLICK). I am rather surprised at how it has grown since I knew it, but then that is progress and it happens everywhere.
