Introduction: Raspberry Drop Scones

A super simple and quick breakfast recipe, which can be made with or without fruit. Raspberries or blackcurrants are great in this recipe and simply added from the freezer. I like serving these with a blob of jam and a sprinkling of sesame seeds.

The music is from one of my favourite Norwich bands, the incredible KaitO! Live music hasn't been the same without Nikki's wonder fringe...
