Home Bakes

A treat for Saturday!

At least they look like scones, and even better they actually taste like scones.

My mum is an excellent baker, I thought I was clever and would make a batch of scones using a recipe I had copied from mum, however the scones didn't rise, in fact they spread so much that they all touched.  They tasted lovely.  I took a sample to Mum, to see where I went wrong!  Found out it was a recipe she had written in her book, but never tried!  When my dad saw them, he thought I did a "grand job" with my shortbread.  

I have practiced since then, and am so proud every time they actually look like scones.

Looks what's on the girdle.....

mmmmm mmmm mmmmmm Pancakes

It was a wet Sunday Afternoon a few weeks ago, and I didn't fancy making cards, I opted for to heat the girdle and make Pancakes - something that I had not done in years!

Stage one, they are bubbling nicely

Stage 2, wow look at the colour of them - better get back to looking after the pancakes rather than the camera, don't want to ruin them!
Here is the finished batch! If you look closely, even a batch of scones in the background - but they didn't come out as well so no close up photos of them!

Well they look good, how did they taste?

I think I need to practice a bit before I offer them to any one other than Hubby!
