♬ 'Love In The Future' John Legend
Love is two scones sandwiched with peanut butter, banana and chia.
Love is a scone made with pumpkin butter instead of the average supermarket stuff.
Love in the future is the love we have now - effortless.
Scones were first introduced into my household when I was about twelve, and I actually bought a pack from Braggs (now Greggs). I remember putting lashings of strawberry jam, extra butter and downing a cup of tea whilst watching CITV. They were so moreish and soft, I kept on going back to Braggs to try every baked good they had in stock, until my mum told me off and commented "too many cakes Mita, will make you look like one!"
Mum always knows best.
What's great about these scones is the pumpkin butter and extra seeds, giving each scone an iron, protein and zinc kick!
