As Easter is round the corner, supermarkets are stocking the shelves of all the yummy treats.
Hot cross buns are often a favourite of many but Tesco have decided to go one step further and create a hybrid including another British favourite.
The 'Hot Cross Scones' have now been introduced on Tesco shelves around the UK.

A UK supermarket first, this innovative Easter treat combines the warming spices found in hot cross buns, with the crumbly texture of a traditional scone. Available in store and online now, each pack of two costs just £1.
Made with Cornish buttermilk and Cornish clotted cream, with a tangy citrus flavour and currants throughout, this new twist on the classic Easter staple is just one of 10 variations featuring in this year’s range of Tesco hot cross bun inspired products, featuring new and returning favourites.
Also new to the range is the sweet and juicy Tesco Finest Maple Syrup and Blueberry Hot Cross Buns.
Returning favourite flavours include salted caramel & chocolate, apple & cinnamon and St Clements hot cross buns with plump orange-soaked sultanas and raisins.
Nicola Orchard, Product Development Manager, said: “Our new Hot Cross Scones combine the crumble of a scone with the fruity flavour of a hot cross bun, and we expect them to be huge a hit with our customers this Easter.
"As with traditional scones, you can serve with Cornish cream and a touch of strawberry jam – but the big question is, do you put your jam or cream on first?".
