doh.

I made a bunch of dough this Sunday. See the results below.



I also made scones. They were delicious. And here is the recipe, straight from everybodylikessandwiches.com:


fruit scones
1/2 c milk
1 egg
2 c flour
2 t baking powder
½ t salt
1/4 c cold butter, cubed
3 T white sugar
2 large handfuls of frozen blackberries

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Whisk the milk and the egg together until frothy and then set aside. In a large bowl, blend the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter and blend the mixture with your hands until you have no lumps larger than a pea. Add the sugar and the blackberries and toss about until the blackberries are coated with the flour mixture. Add the egg mixture slowly until the dough comes together. Leave any remaining egg mixture to brush on as glaze.

2. Turn dough out onto a clean counter and knead it no more than 12 times. Pat dough into a round approximately 1/2 an inch thick, and cut into 8 wedges. Place on an ungreased baking sheet or a Silpat. Using a pastry brush, glaze wedges with remaining egg mixture. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden. Cool on a wire rack.


I added an extra tablespoon of sugar and substituted fresh strawberries instead of frozen blackberries. Very good. I think I'll go eat the last one right now. MMMmmm. Butterfloursugar.

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!
This looks soooooo good.

I am sorry we missed your call! We were knee deep into a episode of "The Wire". Your message brought me big smiles and giggles :)

p.s. Only 10 more days until we are reunited!

I think homemade pizza will have to be one of the family meals.

So far, it is pasta Friday night at my house. Carb up, folks!
