Celebrate the Royal Wedding before it’s scone
People all over the UK and the rest of the world are looking forward to not one but two royal weddings this year. To celebrate Prince Harry’s wedding to Meghan Markle on 19 May, we will be releasing some recipes for anyone who wants to have afternoon tea parties or royal wedding themed lunches during May.
The first, non-essential but quintessentially British recipe we will be sharing is for scones. These can be served with coconut cream, jam and tea for a cream tea, or as an addition to a full afternoon tea with cakes, pastries and sandwiches.

- OR for an American twist add chocolate chips or blueberries
To serve:
- Dairy-free 'cream' from the chilled section in a Kosher store – beaten until fluffy
