Well, I had a bit of a baking disaster... I'll explain. I was reading the Olive magazine when I saw their recipe for macaroons and though "Ooooooh, don't they look lovely, I'll bake them" So I started baking but then realised we didn't have all the ingredients and had to dash to the shops. I just wasn't concentrating because it was only when I was piping little pink circles onto the tray that I thought "This doesn't have much almond in it, how odd?" I put the first tray into the oven regardless and then when I was cleaning up I found the bowl of ground almond and icing sugar... I hadn't sieved it all in... in fact I had barely sieved a quarter of it! The macaroons were not actually macaroons and didn't work so they were scrapped...
But, I didn't want to give up entirely so I decided the best thing to do would be to just bake something else, something simple, some scones! I've made these maple and pecan scones before and they are absolutely delicious, so yummy warm with a little butter in the middle.
Scones are delicious but I definitely prefer sweet to savoury when it comes to them. I can just a bout manage a warm cheese scone but cold, urg. no, no, no! Sweet scones like, fruit or chocolate on the other hand I love, so simple yet so scrumptious!
What do you prefer, sweet or savoury?
Much love Alex-Rose xxx
