English Scones
My starting ingredients:
- Self Raising Flour, 3 cups - sifted
- Butter, 100 g - cut into cubes
- Milk, 1 - 1 1/4 cup
- Cream, 2 tablespoons
- Pinch of Salt
Preheat oven to 200 C.
Add the cubed butter to the sifted flour.
Pinch the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Make a well in the middle and add the cream and about 1 cup milk.
Mix it all together to form a sticky dough. Add the additional milk if required. I normally add enough liquid for the dough to just stick to the sides of the bowl.
Do not overwork the dough or the scones will be a little rubbery and tough.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, adding more dough on top.
Pat out to form a long oblong of about 1 - 2 inches thick and use a cookie cutter to cut out rounds.
Place the scones on to a baking tray or pan.
Continue until all the dough is shaped into scones. Lightly dust the top of the scones with flour and cook in a hot oven (200 C) for 20 - 25 minutes.
The scones should be nicely brown on top.
Serve warm with jam and cream; and a nice hot cup of English Breakfast tea.
Enjoy!
Hey, all. Tonight is dinner at church. It's BBQ with all the usual sides. The church's BBQ is a wee bit spicy for my stomach so I am stopping by McDonald's and getting a grilled chicken wrap for myself.
My weight loss is still going good. I am down 5 dress pant sizes. Woo hoo, huh?! I am considering going mostly vegetarian in the future, but I haven't decided for certain yet. I would have to do some shuffling with cooking because Scott won't even get on board with a Meatless Monday kind of thing, lol. But whatever I do, I won't decide until I get back from WDW next month. I'm not passing on my filet mignon at The California Grill.
I hope everyone is having a great week!

...sometimes that's all you need.
...that sounds yummy....oh yeah, and so does the dinner.....
A few weeks ago I picked up some fried chicken from Big Y and you would have thought that I brought home a bit of Heaven for Buddy. He misses KFC too but if he tells me one more time how good his Mom's fried chicken is and that it was pretty easy to make..............well I won't be responsible for what happens next 
I will say that you certainly stay very very busy!At this point in my life that's all I can deal with! I hope we get through this part soon. We spent so many years building the business and even though we have known that we planned to shut it down for several years, it still is going to take a long time to dismantle it. And then it will still take years to donate and sell the leftovers. Ugh, why are we topping a home buying/home building project in conjunction with closing the business and remodeling that apartment?
I guess we are crazy!
I really need a vacation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
