"Found at deliciousdotcomdotau, these easy-fix scones got my attention because 1 of the suggested finishing touches was the use of lemon curd -- 1 of my favorite ingredients as stated in my Zazz member profile. They were described as light, airy & perfect for afternoon coffee or tea. The only real problem confessed was trying to limit yourself to just 1, but why would you even consider such a silly thing? ENJOY!"
