Have you ever wanted to live like the Queen? Or maybe dine like her? Well, we're going to help you brunch like her!
The royal family shared their secret scone recipe. Their pastry chefs from the Buckingham Palace shared the recipe for fruit scones.
In an Instagram post the royal pastry chefs wrote "Every year at Garden Parties across The Royal Residences, over 27,000 cups of tea, 20,000 sandwiches and 20,000 slices of cakes are consumed. The Royal Pastry Chefs are happy to share their recipe for fruit scones, which traditionally would be served at Buckingham Palace every summer."
Even though we might not be attending Buckingham Palace's Garden Party, we can keep practicing social distancing and eat like royalty at home!
