Golden Scones.

This recipe produced the best scones I have ever tried! It is so moist and light.. and trust me, you can eat 2 at a go! I only made 6 large scones and Eisen finished 3 at one go.. he gave it a 7/10.. which is really good by his standards. :D The colour inside is a little brownish because the recipe had brown sugar and honey.. a must try for all you scone lovers out there!
