Hi !! I'm so sorry for disappearing for awhile (once again) !!
I've been diagnosed with gestational diabetes after a glucose tolerance test,
and need to control my diet!
High sugar is not a new thing to me,
because I've been pricking my finger all this while to test my blood sugar.
Sometimes, the number can be scary!
I'm trying my best to control~~
Another 2-3 months & I can see my little baby Lovern!
OK..back to the topic of...Scones!
this is my first time making scones..with this simple recipe,
it's considered a really fragrant scone, with a hint of butter!
I made these after work..and it's meant for our dinner~
the scones went well with the blueberry jam..
I guess it would be nice to go with some english tea,
but we ate these with fresh milk instead.
Caffeine makes me have sleepless night!
I estimated the time to make these scones to make sure that
they are fresh from the oven when I serve them to my man.
The outer part was crispy and the inside was slightly moist~~
how enjoyable...
In the end, we wiped out everything!
Of course my man ate the most~
and he said it's not enough for him!
Do try out this scone recipe,
it's great of beginners to follow too ! =)
I will try out some cheesy savoury scones soon!
