I am loving my new flexible working hours and I am trying hard to embrace being around the house during the day, so when hubby mentioned he really likes scones I thought I would make him some for morning tea.
Unfortunately past my experience with scones (think year 7 home ec class) always makes me think of rocks.
Despite my reservations I whipped out my old recipe (LOL, no not really I googled) and pre-heated the oven.
Apart from morning tea being at 11.45am the scones were not too bad. I still need more practise but I am sure hubby won't mind being my taste tester until I get it right.
Watch out CWA here I come :-)
Did you notice the homemade jam?
My lovely Aunt gave me three jars and the colour was so fabulous I couldn't resist snapping some pics.
I think the jam even made my scones look pretty good.

PS. I am actually tossing up the idea of joining the CWA is anyone esle a member?
Your scones look delicious Nellie....have you tried buttermilk scones? They are a favourite in our house! Yummy jam too! CWA sounds like a fun idea...

Hi Nellie I'm sure your scones were lovely and the colour of that jam is to die for. I always remember my mum telling me scones are fussy to make as they don't like being over worked. I haven't made scones for years but the last batch came out really well. I have a Margaret Fulton recipe which works every time if you'd like a copy. What is the CWA??
ReplyDeleteHow's your boss, is she still fabulous?? lol
Take care....Michelle xo
Yum, yum, the scones (and the jam) look deeeelicious!

They look yummy Nellie - hope hubby enjoyed them. My no fail scone recipe is Lemonade Scones (the recipe is on my blog) - my nanna says the trick is not to overhandle them - as soon as the mix has come together, that's it. I think the CWA would be fun to join :)
ReplyDeleteYummy! I love this. The homemade jam looks so bright!
ReplyDeleteThink I might have to have some at the weekend : )

Your husband is going to enjoy having you working from home...
ReplyDeleteI also don't know what CWA is! I have never tried to make scones because I'm afraid they will be dry and hard too...how did yours turn out?
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job with those scones Nellie they look delicious and I bet your hubby loves having you home when you bake him yummy treats like this. xx
ReplyDeleteYour scones look good and the homemade jam has a beautiful colour. I have thought about joining the CWA but it is only a thought:0)
ReplyDeleteWould totally join with you Nellie!
