Good Friday

A mini break has arrived and with this oppertunity I have decided to do some baking. Starting off with some simple scones that I made plenty of to feed the family. The recipe I got from an internet site but unfortunatly have lost it, so heres the ingredients and instruction:

225g Plain flour,
1tsp Cream of Tartar,
1/2tsp Bicarbonate of soda,
30g Sugar,
112g Butter,
4 Oz Milk,
Pinch of Salt,

The dry ingredients were sifted together in a bowl. The butter was then diced and rubbed into the dry mixture to make a fine breadcrumb mixture. Then the milk was added to make a dough. Once the dough was made then it was rolled out and cut into scones. The tops were brushed with milk and baked in a hot oven for ~15mins at gas mark 6.

Today I took the day off as I was to go and watch a ballet performance with a friend. Woke up early to find the streets all layered with wonderful snow just the right touch for a day to go and watch something as magical as sleeping beauty.

It was the first time for me to go and see a ballet performed and it was amazing. I liked it more than I thought I would. The costumes were gorgeous and the dancing was exquisite and most importantly the music was truly magical.
