Making SCONES at The Last Homely House, Mary Berry Recipe (The QUEEN of CAKES!)
There is so much written about these very English treats, and so much of it is contentious! Starting with how to pronounce it! Scone rhymes with GONE and not with BONE just to clear that up. I used Mary Berry's recipe - The Queen of Cakes - why would you look any further? Here is the link
I will not be able to sit outside with afternoon tea for very much longer - this this probably the last time! And John DID call by on his way home so I got to share them with him and Anna.
Over on Patreon I am getting on with the next ALONG which I am loving as I am making decisions about the design as I progress each week. You'll find cooking, sewing and much chatting over there too - so check the link if you are curious to know more.
I will be talking about the shop update soon, meantime there are always books, cards, Bird Kits, and virtual tutorials here
One person from the mailing list will win the monthly prize draw, so hop over there and sign up for the chance to win!
If you make these scones, tag #LHHLGS over on instagram for me to see!
Take care Love Kate xxx
