Mmmm...

I've been baking again. *g*
I love having a cream tea but often the scones are fruit ones, & I prefer plain. So, I decided to have a go at making my own. :)

This is the recipe I used, & I was pretty pleased with the results.
I did have a couple of issues that I'll put right next time:
+ there was too much milk & so the dough was very sticky, meaning I had to work it longer than I would have liked & so the scones weren't quite as light as they could have been. (They still tasted lovely, but I think they'll be flakier next time.)
+ they didn't need as long as quoted in the oven. I'll set the timer for a shorter time next time. (They weren't burnt or anything - just a little more brown than golden on the 'golden-brown' scale. *g*)

A couple of folks wanted some pictorial evidence of my endeavours so here you go! :)

Happy Friday!

I adore 'bachelor auction' fic, & this one is adorable - with a deliciously flustered Jensen & I bet you can guess who 'buys' him. \o/
Yummy. ♥

Mr B is on holiday for Easter now & it's a cold but gorgeously sunny morning.  (Plus it's a 'sunny' day for me, too!)
We're taking Bud for a nice long walk through the fields & along the canal. 
*happy sigh*
We're so lucky to live in such a beautiful place.
