After my success with the Fruit Scone the other day, I was very inspired to further experiment with this recipe.
Since it is we are approaching Christmas, it think these Christmas Scone will be a welcome to serve as tea on Christmas day.

250g bread flour
40g sugar
14g baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg
½ tsp cardamom
½ tsp clove
½ tsp clove
5g salt
120g butter (cold and cubed)
135g whipping cream
17g honey

100g dried fruits (any of your choice)
1.5 tbsp rum
