While having this thought aloud on Twitter I stumbled across this lovely ladies blog with some seriously divine looking cakes....and it was here I read about a little blogworld monthly challenge in the form of #ForeverNigella. Now I adore cook books - and I have a few Nigella ones two. Where better to find inspiration for a spot of baking than with Ms Lawson herself! This months challenge is being hosted by the very lovely homemade by Fleur.
I then grabbed my Domestic Goddess off the bookcase and scanned for a scone recipe. The recipe in the book is for plain scones but makes suggestions on how to 'perk' them up. For my afternoon tea its cheese scones. All other times I have failed at making scones, but these came out amazing (and I sent the hubby a picture at work - he is even more excited to come home now!)
I was surprised how quickly the whole thing came together. (I made them this morning, while in my Pjs while M ate his breakfast!). He was rather amazed at how sticky my hands were!
The recipe said to place them close together on the tray. Before putting in the oven I egg washed and sprinkled with cheese on top.
I will defiantly be baking these again...maybe just some fruit ones next. As I do like a scone with clotted cream and jam - with a cuppa.

They look amazing - I love cheese scones and they are on my to do list as well. My flapjacks are good - but my cupcakes are rubbish. Where did you find the recipe? What a fab way to start the day and a great treat for breakfast - lucky K.
ReplyDeleteSo impressed that you said you were going to enter and 12 hours later the baking and the blog post were done! I must say these scones do look lovely. I like them fresh out of the oven so they are still warm when I eat them. Thank you so much for entering Forever Nigella.
ReplyDeleteI love that recipe! They always come out so light and fluffy. Must try cheese next time, mine are always plain with jam & cream :) yum!
ReplyDeleteWow, they look beautiful! Very gorgeous and Nigella-like - well done! x
ReplyDeleteThey look delicious! I love scones, and it's definitely fruit ones with jam and clotted cream for me! Mmmm, might have to bake some tomorrow! x
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking part in Forever Nigella, I'm glad to have inspired you to get in the kitchen. I don't live far from Hackney and I could here the music thumping all evening, my husband kept complaining about it but I thought it was quite cool and hope they repeat it next year!
