Nigella's Buttermilk Scones

I made these a couple of weeks ago and thought they were just delightful. http://www.lifestylefood.com.au/recipes/14915/buttermilk-scones
I was inspired as i saw Wattle Valley clotted cream in the supermarket. Sadly after i made the scones i could not find the cream....
This time i was inspired by notquitenigella and her splendid afternoon tea http://www.notquitenigella.com/2011/01/17/healthy-afternoon-tea/
I made a big batch of heart shaped scones and froze some to pull out for a spontaneous afternoon tea.



Then in Anna Olson 'switch up' style i recreated my scones into a scone style bread and butter pudding.

I halved the scones, lay them in a little baking dish and sprinkled with a little cinnamon and caster sugar. I whisked up an egg, a little caster sugar and some milk. Poured over my scones and baked for about 20 mins. It was delicious, although i could have been more generous on the sugar (next time i really should measure how much i used!).
