York Treasurer’s House scone a treat worth celebrating - The Yorkshire Post says
Let’s not get mired in arguing about how it’s pronounced – because it’s time to boast that Yorkshire is home to perhaps the finest scone in the land. According to a woman who really knows her scones.
After a decade-long journey of trying the treat at every National Trust location in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland which offers them, Londonder Sarah Merker has singled out York’s Treasurer’s House as one of the very best spots to have one.
She has tried some 244 scones over the past 10 years and says the festive scone with brandy butter at the Treasurer’s House is a particular favourite. Describing it on her blog as “off the scale delicious,” the Christmas pudding themed scone is the creation of food and beverage manager William Drury.
That might be a mouthful too far for those who strictly take a scone with jam (on the bottom) with cream – but as ever the region’s fare is worthy of celebration.
