I’m always telling my grandchildren that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so here are some Simple Breakfast Ideas that I hope will help you to have a productive, healthy and happy day!

Breakfast is also a great opportunity to indulge yourself – try my Sticky Marmalade Buns, Scotch Pancakes (Drop Scones) or my Easy Homemade Pikelets, and if you fancy something savoury how about one of the tea rooms favourites – Welsh Rarebit?

Breakfast scones do also feel a little indulgent, but why not have scones for breakfast? As they freeze very successfully all you have to do in the morning is defrost them in a microwave or wrap them in foil in a hot oven. I like them spread lavishly with butter – the butter melting on the warmed scone.

Also, stale scones, or day old scones, can be split and toasted. In fact I like toasted scones as much as fresh ones! Toast them and again spread lavishly with butter.
