Saturday is for baking! Well, at least this Saturday is for baking (and colouring one’s hair but that’s not what this post is about). Actually, I don’t know if you could call today a Baking Day because that would insinuate that lots of baking has been happening and I’ve only made one batch of scones and have no plans to bake anything else. Well, whatever, at least I’ve been productive!
These scones are made from the good ol’ Cheese Scone recipe in the Edmonds Cookery Book (Kiwi staple, of course), except I put in more cayenne popper and mustard power (still not enough though) and added a wee piece of ham to the top of each one.
A Lesson In Pronunciation
‘Scone’ is pronounced sk-onn, not sk-own, okay? Please remember this. Sounds silly to say ‘skown’!
My verdict is that they are rather nom, though perhaps slightly drier than I would have liked, and as I mentioned above, more cayenne pepper and mustard power would have been better. My male person is coming over later, so we shall see what he thinks and then I will edit this post and share his thoughts.
What’s your favourite thing to bake?
ETA: The boyfriend’s verdict was that they were indeed a bit dry and could have done with cayenne pepper and cheese. But he still ate most of them.
