Almost  by judithg

Almost

A kind friend gifted us a subscription to Olive Magazine and after a few days of lethargy I was in the mood to make something. Unfortunately I didn’t read the instructions properly and put three eggs in the mixture instead of two plus one for glazing (to be fair I think it should have said it like that in the ingredients!) Anyhow in the absence of anything else we’ll get through these rather damp blueberry and lemon scones.

Weather: not inspiring for photography but fairly mild.
Covid: 10 million people vaccinated in the uk
Good things: I’m really enjoying 365 again to document these strange times when there often isn’t much to document and to see what friends are up to.
I could well scoff one of these just now.

These look great and I like the reflection - just put plenty of butter on! I had a subscription to the BBC food mag for my birthday last March. I was really good at trying somethng new each month at first, but I've slipped a bit recently.

The winter and covid makes me crave for fresh baking too. I bake something every weekend. Most of the time together with one of the kids. And now I can't wait for the weekend!

Damp blueberry and lemon scones sound delicious. Made teacakes today for first time. Rather tasty even without the lemon peel didnt have.

The drizzling looks yummy

Those look absolutely fabulous! They wear that additional egg well. Enjoy every glorious bite!
I bought yeast at the grocery store today to make bread tomorrow. Now I wish I'd bought scone ingredients.

Egg in glazing? Never heard of such a thing. These do look rather lovely though.. hope tasted ok, despite the hiccup!

@julzmaioro fresh picked! Fabulous!

@newbank drizzling essential otherwise a bit low on sugar - we had to have three each to check them out.

@blightygal we’ve had to taste test three each just to be sure.

@judithg Sounds like the brownies made on monday. Had to have 2 to check suitable to feed to family...

They look fine from where I'm sitting!

@judithg Only 3? They must be bad, lol.
Glad yummy! :-)

This picture is magazine worthy! Sure makes me want to eat one. Or two!

They do look delicious. Icing will fix anything...

They made a great subject. Looking forward to seeing more of your creations from the magazine!

Well, they may be damp as you say, but this is a great photo, and I'll bet they are delicious! Super POV.

These are so beautifully photographed, they look delicious! I used to love getting Olive magazine sometimes and Delicious was another one with good recipes. Maybe toast them and they won't taste so damp!

Super photography of this culinary delight. Doubly skilled!
February 4th, 2021  
They still look yummy and photographed beautifully!
