Kitchen Princess is a manga by Natsumi Ando and Miyuki Kobayashi in which every chapter is named after a dish. This is our own quick, family-friendly version of that dish, not the recipe from the book.
Scones are meant to be quick, and biscuit mix makes them even quicker. Don’t overmix the dough: a few lumps make them tender.
Make it a learning moment: cutting a circle into 8 wedges is a fraction lesson. How many wedges make a half? A quarter?
