It was dreary and overcast this morning and it looked like it would stay that way for the rest of the day. So what does one do on a miserable day at home with the kids? One bakes of course!
We started off with a batch of scones. Myself and Master C donned our aprons and prepared to be covered in flour (and we pretty much were by the end, though not as much as the kitchen). Using terrific teamwork, we worked together to produce a brilliant tasting batch of scones, which we had for lunch.
It was a very well-to-do kind of lunch you know, with myself and Miss E debating on whether they were called scones (pronounced scons) or scoooooones.
I don't know if you've ever heard a 5 year old try to talk posh but it does tend to send one (or a few) into fits of giggles.
In the end we decided on the pronunciation of scones as scones, but nonetheless it was a very enjoyable Devonshire tea......
Miss E helped me bake gluten free vanilla cupcakes shortly after, though I'm afraid I must confess that I cheated this time and used packet mix. But hey, as long as the young ones enjoy themselves is all that matters right?
The sun burst out f the clouds after lunch and it was like it never left. We decided it was perfect park going weather and actually ventured out of the house for a while. After about a half hour of playing in the sun we decided it was just too hot and thought we'd all treat ourselves to Baskin Robins instead (splendid idea, obviously!)
All in all an enjoyable day!
I will upload the scone recipe soonish, as it's such a great recipe I just have to share :)
