The eternal student

Made scones for K today. And I have finally mastered it! Thanks to my on-going Home Ec lessons from my mammy!!

I now know to sift the flour and rub in the butter from a height, to add air to the mixture. I know to mix in the milk and banana (adds some sweetness - yum!) with a knife, not my hands, to avoid knocking out the air!! I also know to handle as little as possible and cut with a scone cutter for the perfect, light and soft scones!

So, today I (and K!!) am grateful for my ancestors, near and far.

Mam learnt the craft of baking from dad's dad!!!

It's actually quite amazing if you stop and think about where you learn stuff from!!! Reminds you where you have come from, and gives you some idea of where you are going!!

Gratefully yours.
