What I love most about the internet is that you meet people in the weirdest forums. There is this scrabble game I play my phone called WordFued. Last week when I was playing at around lunch my opponent told me goodnight and from there we got to talking. Turned out she was from New Zealand, I told her I was in Kenya. Being me I just had to tell her about my blog and the next day I asked her to send me an easy Kiwi recipe and she sent me this scones. Thanks Silvia!!

They are might easy to make and you probably have all the ingredients in your pantry at any given point. You can also add anything to them; bacon, chocolate chips, raisins, other dried fruits. I added about a cup of dried bacon bits to mine. They are best eaten fresh just when they cool down a bit.
