Mimis Valentine Raspberry Scones

Description

A delicious treat on Valentine's Day or for a tea party. Each scone is two layers with a raspberry jam filling and sprinkled lightly with white sugar and then with red sugar crystals. Any other red jam would be fine--strawberry or cherry. They are beautiful on a tray or serve in a pretty basket lined with a napkin. If you are doing these for a tea party just use a smaller heart cookie cutter but it will make many more, or you could make a few small ones for the party and the rest larger ones for yourselves.
