Hot Fresh Scones!

good evening!

today was fun.

i got an order for a cushion

so packaged it up prettily and included a little extra heart

'cos it's Christmas.

then a friend called

and i went out to chatz cafe for a

'see you later' send off as another friend is leaving here

to go to bundaberg...a couple of hours up the road.

she wants to swim in the sea

and be reunited with her eldest daughter.

good on her!

so after having a delicious salmon portion

baked in pastry with a creamy dreamy dill sauce

accompanied by

roast veges

with dessert being a muggacino

with extra froth...

i decided that a simple dinner

of a couple of freshly baked scones

would do the job.

these quick scones

are made from a recipe off a flour packet

&

i make them much more than the traditional recipe now.

all you need is

3 cups of self raising flour

and

2/3 cup of icing sugar

to which you add

300 mls of pouring cream

and

100 mls of water.

stir quickly until in a lump,

put on a floured surface,

knead a couple of times to bring the mixture together.

pat out into a flattened lump..about 2 cms high,

carve up into even pieces

and put into an oven, 180 degrees centigrade.

{scone recipes always say a hot oven..220 degrees..i never do}

bake for exactly 12 minutes...

{this recipe said 15 mins or more..i always cook scones for exactly 12 mins and they turn out perfectly every time}

this is how they turned out...

and this is how they looked

on the plate...

they were nice and light

&

delicious.

more rustic than fancy!

what wonders do you intend to bake over the weekend?

or not?
