Marmalade and Raisins Scones

Today I made this Scones which I always ordered  every time I had

 coffee.This scones I added a twist ,orange marmalade gives my scones 

tartness,and satisfying aroma,when you bake it. Sometimes we are tired

of plain scones but normally scones can be eaten with jams and butter
