Afternoon Tea Recipes

In my opinion there is nothing better than afternoon tea, weather that consists of going to a cafe or hotel and being served tea, cakes, sandwiches and other delights on a pretty stand, or inviting friends and family over and devouring a plate of freshly baked scones or flapjacks while setting the world to right.

Over the next couple of weeks I'm going to try to post my favourite recipes that I think are afternoon tea worthy, and will be right at home presented next to a cup of tea while you catch up with friends and family on a summers afternoon.

I'm thinking scones, flapjacks, tarts, cupcakes, biscuits, and any other bakes I think of along the way...I'll start these recipes with the title "Afternoon Tea- ??????" so keep an eye out and let me know if there is anything you would like included.

Until then, promise me you won't reach for Mr Kipling, buy local instead!
