Lemon and rosemary are two flavours that are often found in savoury dishes. But, I have experienced them together in a cake before and was so impressed. I wanted to play around with them to create a fresh and herbaceous scone recipe. This recipe is wonderful any time of the year, but especially appropriate for the winter season. That’s because lemons are actually at their sweetest and juiciest during the winter.
