TEA TIME RECIPES
we are posting recipes for yummy tea time treats. My recipe is for scones. I seem to be called on to bake these for many occasions. They are supposedly the very ones served at the Empress Hotel in Victoria, B.C., at their special cream teas.
If you try them, please leave a comment
Here is the recipe:

I do have a recipe on my site for making vareniki. We make them with a cheese filling and then bake them in butter and half and half and serve them up with sourcream and syrup :)
