I watched an episode of the BBC's "Remarkable Places to Eat" where Great British Bake Off champion Nadiya Hussain visited Bettys Cafe Tea Rooms in Harrowgate, Yorkshire, UK. There she tried their famous "Fat Rascals".

Fat Rascals are like a Scone, but with citrus flavours inside, and are decorated with Glacé cherries and blanched Almonds.

I was amazed that I'd never heard of these marvellous scones so I decided to make a batch. They were an instant hit with the kids and husband. So after three more batches, I decided to make a video of them for ScrummyTV.

Nadiya said whenever she gets the chance she'll take her children to Bettys Tearooms to enjoy a Fat Rascal. Next time I'm in Yorkshire I plan to do exactly the same. A big thank you to both Nadiya and Betty's Tea rooms.

My recipe was inspired by this one:
