so feeling inspired by the great british bake off to do some more traditional baking i turned my hand to scones. unfortunately the results would definitely have had me evicted from the competition!
i used a recipe from "the vintage tea party book" by angel adoree - which i absolutely love! it is so beautiful and contains everything you would ever need to know about hosting a tea party!
so i followed the classic scones recipe. having never made scones before i did not know what the mixture should look like, however i did thing the quite gooey and dough like texture i had probably was not right!
it probably also did not help that i somewhat drowned them in milk rather than glazing them with it! however the results were not all bad - if a little crispy and misshapen!
so closer to rock cakes than scones - however once they were lathered up with raspberry jam and clotted cream (oh the guilt!) then they were super scrummy. i've been indulging in them in the afternoons whilst reading (i've been making up for a lack of pleasure reading at uni and so already this: the adventures of tom sawyer, the marriage plot, heart of darkness, never let me go, little women, sons and lovers, the fifty shades trilogy (no judging!) and the great gatsby this summer!).
not the most beautiful scones but still delicious!
today i spent a lovely sunday afternoon making some cupcakes - so expect another post soon!
love,
nen
