Howzit?
Coming from South Africa and living in America makes it hard sometimes to live in a culture without a tea time and unfortunately a bad track record of tasteless hard scones that are processed a good deal too much. My mother and I found a very good brand of dried mangoes and I bought a little extra on a whim thinking I would try and search for a recipe for some scones…. well your recipe amazed me AND just like fate my mother brought fresh strawberries this morning because they were buy one get one free. Such Luck! I can’t help but smile at the sky (well the ceiling really) and think that these with our habit of drinking tea aleast five times a day will be gone before the day is out. An amazing recipe, fantastic photos, and a taste of home. Thank you.

Tried it with the dried apricots. Came out great. I did increase the amount of sugar called for in the recipe by couple of tablespoons since I wasnt planning to eat it with the lemon glaze.
This recipe is a keeper. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

I gave the recipe a try, and it was a sweet success. I was not sure if I added the right amount of sugar because it tasted a little low on the sweetness, but it was well balanced by the low fat content. I felt the butter quantity that the recipe calls for was not too high either. Overall, a low-fat, low-sugar scone that was crispy on the outside, and soft and chewy on the inside, and made a healthy and tasty tea time snack. It was actually the first time that I baked something from scratch. It was a great feeling to see the outcome. Thanks to you for such an easy and inspiring recipe.

Looks great.
Where I live, I doubt if I could get my hands on dried mango. Any ideas as to what I could substitute?

Thanks

Indira replies:
How about dried apricots? Tart and yellow, they might work.

An extravagantly fruity, spicy, creamy cake of a muffin

A fruity, delicious little muffin with a yellow, creamy and jammy center and a finish like key lime pie.
