These are small scones and baked with a slightly raised dome. They have a lovely light crumb and are delicious with strawberry jam and lightly whipped cream.

Scones. AfternoonTea. It’s with sadness that I wave a fond farewell to Janie from The Hedgecombers this month, she co-hosted her last Tea Time Treats event last month in July
Have a wonderful rest of the week……see you soon with more recipes and a new giveaway, Karen. Now don’t get me wrong, I DO love a warm mince pie or four, and they are always on my Christmas baking menu every year – in fact, I am already thinking of baking them in November, such is my love or should I say lust for a crumbly, buttery, booze-laden mincer, as we call them “up North”…
There was a lot of excitement in our household this weekend - having had a temporary kitchen since we moved into the house three years ago, and after months of planning, preparation and a few weeks of renovation chaos, yesterday saw the completion of this huge project
Tandy over at Lavender and Lime invited a bunch of us to participate in InternationalSconeWeek. Do you ever look at people – include yourself here – and wonder just how we became so darn critical
A huge apology to all my lovelies here, for being so inactive on my blog site recently, I had so much happening, from my Move back Home to South Africa, To Eid-ul-Fitr and later entertaining my Family that had come to stay with me for a week, all I can say Is Time waits for no man
It’s a treat to look forward to at the end of the school and work week and, depending on what is on the schedule that day, I tend to whip up a quick pizza for the kids to have for supper
