I didn't expect sweet potatoes and red beans to be used as afternoon tea, as delicious as scones, simple to make and low calorie

1. Scones

When it comes to afternoon tea, I have to say that scones (English name scones) are indispensable for English afternoon tea, and it is a classic of English afternoon tea.

The energy of scones is still relatively high, butter accounts for at least one-third of a flour, but it is still less than a pound cake.

Scones are usually eaten with jam or cheese and, of course, English tea.

[English scone ingredients]: 550 grams of plain flour, 50 grams of whole wheat flour, 200 grams of butter, 60 grams of sugar, 1 gram of salt, 20 grams of baking powder, 100 grams of raisins, 280ml of milk, 1 egg
