I've been wanting to bake some scones for a while and I know that alot of people on MSE had been raving about Karen's scone recipe so I thought I'd give it a go. You can find the instructions here along with some other lovely recipes. Karen has done some easy to follows instructions with photos. I have to say these scones tasted delicious and they have not gone dry despite being a couple of days old. I made them as a tester as I want to bake another batch on Saturday for my birthday as I plan to have afternoon tea with my family. I will cut them alittle thicker on Saturday as I think they will be higher then!
Last night I made Lemon Curd, following Karens recipe which can be found here - very easy to make with Karen's fab photo tutorial and the taste is just wow wow wow!!!!! I don't think I will ever want shop bought Lemon Curd again. I teamed it up with one of the scones and it was gorgeous!!! I liked it more than strawberry jam so this will be my new favourite scone topping!! I will be making some cupcakes for Saturday and injecting some of this curd into them as well as putting a jar on the table to go with the scones!!!! Of course on Saturday there will be clotted cream as well to go with the scones!!!!
Do take a look at Karen's blog as she has some other lovely recipes including a lovely Farmhouse Cake which she has named 'Alice Cake' after the grandmother from whom the recipe was handed down from.
Thanks Karen for your lovely recipes!!!!!
I so wish I could eat eggs the lemon curd sounds delicious and the pictures on Karens blog are gorgeous!

Glsd you enjoyed the recipes Angie. The Lemon Curd was always a winner in the WI competitions. Its gorgeous on toast and no need for butter. Actually I could just eat it from the jar with a spoon!! xx
ReplyDeleteI have been looking for a good scone recipe for a while now. I tend to make mine either too high so that they dont bake as well in the middle or to shallow and they are far to awkward to cut!! Have a lovely tea party at the weekend chick xx
ReplyDeleteYummy stuff! Pity I'm dieting :(
ReplyDeleteHave a fab day on Saturday, hope you get loads of crafty stuff.
