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

James Martin – A Brit-szigetek gasztronómiája
A nagy-britanniai kalandozásai után James Martin ismét az utakat járja, hogy további káprázatos – és olykor távoli –, az Egyesült Királysághoz tartozó kedvenc helyeit megismertesse a nézőkkel. A Brit-szigetek különleges ételeit felsorakoztató sorozatban séfünk ellátogat a szigetekről a Skót-felföldre, ételeket készít és kóstol Cornwalltól a Scilly-szigetekig, valamint Walestől Skye szigetéig. Felhasználja az ország legjobb alapanyagait: posírozott rombuszhalat készít tejszínes-fűszeres mártással egy hajó fedélzetén, sertésburgert barbecue-szósszal a Man-szigeten, a hagyományos Singing Hinnies süteményt Northumberlandban, és még sok más meglepő finomságot, mint például kacsát Hoisin-szósszal a Scilly-szigetekhez tartozó St Martin’s szigetén.
Singing Hinnies! Chocolate Orange Flavour Geordie Tea Time Treats :) UK Family Food
Haway' means 'Come on!' in our local dialect. :)
I'm Julie and we are a family of three. We live right on the coast here in the North East of England.
Join me in the kitchen today while I make very easy Geordie Singing Hinnies. Singing Hinnies get their name from the sound the dried fruit makes as they fry on the griddle.
Our chocolate chip ones didn't sing but they were absolutely delicious with a smear of marmalade and a dab of clotted cream!
Hope you enjoy them :)
If you fancy sticking around, we're going to be bringing you meals of the week, recipes, shopping and hauls and dining out - all with an emphasis on comfort :)
If you're not familiar with us Geordies, we're from a region in the North East between Scotland and North Yorkshire, and we're famous for our friendliness, immunity to the freezing cold and our challenging accent! :)
