You must be lazy because there is almost no skill required - scones must be one of the easiest foods to make. :-)

Don’t forget the first very thin layer of cream used instead of butter which allows a smoother jam covering before “whacking” on all that lovely cream.

Wait - so it's now cream then jam then cream?

Not sure if that pleases both sides or offends them equally!

Exactly.

Makes everybody right and nobody wrong. Some of us just love clotted cream.

I use currants, rather than sultanas (raisins). I also give the tops an eggwash with beaten egg whites to add gloss and sprinkle with sugar just before they go in the oven.

Some lemon zest in the batter adds a nice touch too. I'm actually surprised you don't have any eggs in your wet ingredients, that's in the various recipes I have seen.
