Today I made...

Cherry & plain scones and a coffee and walnut cake.

I am eating a piece of the cake and listening to Dimmu Borgir...it's an interesting and intense combination.




Scone Recipe.

8oz of self raising flour
2oz of butter
1oz of sugar
around 100ml of milk (with a drop of lemon juice if available)
cherries optional

Preheat oven around 200c

1. Rub the flour,butter and sugar into breadcrumbs using the tips of your fingers
2. Add the cherries or any other flavour
3. Add the milk a little at a time until combined (you may need a little more- they seem to work best when the mix is a little wet).
4. Turn the mix onto a lightly floured surface and with your hands (I never use a rolling pin) press into an even shape a couple of inches thick.
5. Using a scone cutter or something similar cut your scones
6. Place on a prepared baking sheet- Bake until golden brown and sound hollow when the bottoms are tapped.
