Tea With Children #2

Welcome to our Tea Party......
We have baked some lovely "Mrs Rabbit's" Currant Buns that you can make with your little ones......very easy!
Beatrix would say our table is "perfectly appointed"......
Mr. Jeremy Fisher has arrived early....

And other friends.......

And of course Miss Bella, the neighbors momma cat.....
I do so hope you will come for tea says Jeremy........

Recipe for Mrs Rabbit's Currant Buns comes from the ...Peter Rabbit's Cookery Book..now sadly out of print.
This is very easy to make with children...just combine in a medium bowl as follows:
8oz self rising flour, pinch of salt, 3 oz butter, 2 oz sugar, 1 egg, 2 Tb milk and 2 oz currants Bake at 425 degrees for about 8 - 12 minutes
Watch for browning at 8 minutes Makes 12 buns











Do take time to go out into the garden and
have tea with the little ones.....these are memories that will last forever...........
The little Bee Teaset is available at "Bernideen's for $39.95.

Love this scene! The book is classic with fairy tale-style recipes and it's a fitting part of a wonderland of tea time in the garden with the beehive tea set and the ceramic creatures. --Jason
