Its my sons 35 birthday in two weeks and he lives abroad , I really want to send him a Devon Cream tea hamper which includes scones, jam, cream and fudge, but can't find a company that will deliver abroad. I rang one such company and she said it would cost too much and there's health and safety but they'll happily post it all over the UK I said but I've sent him parcels which arrived promptly the next day so I don't see why it can't be done but she still refused.
Any suggestions ladies or has anyone done this successfully, he's a man who has everything so something simple like this would be perfect . He could share it with the new lady in his life whom I've yet to meet..

Had a dispute with my mum about putting eggs in scones. I did, she didn't and said her expert friends in the WI didn't either. Imagine my astonishment when MiL said that she thought I was the expert!

I can't bake scones, or anything else. You all must have cold hands (and therefore warm hearts) - what does that say about me? grin

I thought you needed cold hands to make pastry?

Annobel Scones turn out fine without eggs but recipes are modified all the time. Adding an egg can improve the texture but not everyone will agree. I'm a bit lavish with eggs because we keep chickens.
