Scones
500ml cake flour (280g)
15 ml baking powder
2ml salt
75ml caster sugar (60g)
65g margarine or butter
1 egg
125ml milk
Tea
Lipton Green tea
- Sift dry ingredients together. Add sugar
- Rub margarine into dry ingredients until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Mix egg and milk together and add to dry ingredients, forming soft, but not sticky, dough.
- Turn out onto a floured surface and pat out lightly, to a thickness of 20mm. Cut into rounds or squares. Place on a greased baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit)for 12-15 min.
- Serve scones with honey, syrup, grated cheese, butter, cream and jam.
So finally I remembered to take my camera and snap a couple of picks while I did some baking. I am passionate about food,so I will be putting up some food posts from now on. They came out really nice and soft, which is great. I was able to use my moms beautiful tea cups which are amazing,love the vintage feel too them. I am quite pick about the tea I drink, Lipton Green tea seems to be the only tea that soothes and relaxes me,so I highly recommend it!
What kinds of tea do you use?

Hi – so glad you visited my blog – now I found you – a fellow Suid Afrikaaner. ;-)Where are you based?
Oh my word – those scones look scrumptious!! YUM
I am not a tea drinker – but a friend mistakenly made me a cup of tea once with a sprig of mint. Recipe, Black tea with sugar (if you take) and 2 mint leaves, leave for a few minutes for mint to steep and drink.
It was actually quite refreshing.
My scones are in the oven!! 🙂
Your blog is so lovely <3
And I love picture on top of your blog:)
Do you want that we follow each other?
The scones look yummy! I really like Twinings breakfast tea.
Lovely scones. I so enjoy one with some strawberry jam cream and a bit of grated cheese. Im a rooibos girl myself but in summer I love my homemade iced tea made with green tea. Thank you so much for the visit and lovely comment xx

Nice post. I learn something new and challenging on blogs I stumbleupon on a daily basis.
It will always be useful to read through content from other authors and practice a little something from
their sites.
