Our morning



We got Rebecca a proper big girl bike for Christmas with gears and what not, so this morning we went for a long ride (she rode her bike and we jogged) around the golf course near our home. It was only 7 km but it was hot, fortunately the last stretch was under ancient shady pine trees so that was a lovely reward.

We had these for breakfast when we got home. I baked them early this morning and left them to cool while we were out, a bit like the three bears going out while their porridge cooled.

A simple scone



450g bran rich self-raising flour (or nutty wheat flour)
a level teaspoon salt
100g butter
200ml milk

Sift dry goods. Rub butter in with fingertips till crumbly. Make well and add milk (this morning I added an egg to the milk for a richer taste), and mix lightly to blend. (I split the dough and mixed raisins into the one half). Place on a floured surface and cut out 5cm rounds. Place on a greased baking tray. Bake at 200 degrees for about 15 - 20 minutes. I served them with butter and jam.
