» Is It Tea Time Yet? I'm Eager to Make the Royal Family's Summer Scone Recipe
Are you ready to eat like Queen Elizabeth II? The Royal Family recently shared their favorite garden party scone recipe on Instagram, and I'm counting down the minutes 'til tea time. Rumor has it, the Queen doesn't go a day without her afternoon tea and after seeing her scones, you'll understand why.
"Every year at Garden Parties across The Royal Residences, over 27,000 cups of ☕️, 20,000 🥪 and 20,000 slices of 🍰 are consumed!" The Royal Family's page reads. "The Royal Pastry Chefs are happy to share their recipe for fruit scones, which traditionally would be served at Buckingham Palace every summer."
The British baked good is about as classic as they come, and I imagine you'll feel a lot closer to the palace with a scone in hand. Try out the recipe below, and if you live across the pond, make sure to convert your measurements. Although these scones are usually reserved for parties or tea, I see no reason to exclude them from becoming a breakfast treat or an after-dinner snack. Anything goes, really, and we promise not to tell the Queen.

- 500g plain flour
28g baking powder
