Tea for Two-sday ~ Tuck Box Scones

A few months ago, I posted about a tearoom in Carmel that I had been to a couple of times - The Tuck Box.

When I was there, I bought a can of their scone mix because I love their scones! Sadly, it sat in my cupboard for quite a while.

But recently, I actually got it out and made scones on a Saturday morning! Yummy!! They are basic scones - not super sweet, but I like how they say to prepare them. After baking, you take each layer, cut in half, then toast or broil with cut side up. Then brush with melted butter - mmmm. The Tuck Box serves them with cream and preserves, of course. But to save a couple of calories, we did without and just enjoyed them with the butter. I was just telling my husband that I think it's wrong that I'm doing this post and I don't have one to eat right now!

The back of the tin says this: "The Tuck Box scone recipe was brought to the U.S. by Elsie Grandfield, who owned The Tuck Box from 1948 to 1959 with her husband, John. It originated in Scotland."

Just when I was thinking that it would be nice to have some more, I discovered that there is a way to mail-order the mix through www.tuckbox.com! Woo-hoo!

Hope you enjoyed a taste of The Tuck Box! Have a blessed day!
