My new bouquet of dried hydrangeas came from my sister-in-law -Vivian's garden in Des Moines, Iowa. My husband brought them back in December and some were 12" from top to bottom.
I found these scones easy to bake before work this morning - I used a 2 1/2" scone cutter and rolled the dough out onto a pastry cloth. It made 16 scones. I used more key lime zest than the recipe called for and was GLAD I did.
They are wonderful! I highly recommend this book: "Scones & Tea".
I love this Scottish "Mrs Bridges Lemon Curd" because it was just the right "tartness" for these scones. I sell several types in my store and would recommend this one for this scone - rather than a more "butter" based curd.
Hi Bernideen,
ReplyDeleteYour tea table with hydrangeas is beautiful! I bet your homemade lime coconut scones were wonderful.
Tea and beautiful hydrangeas on your table. The scones sound yummy
ReplyDeleteA new book to put on my "to read" list, thank you!

Oh bernideen, how I would love to sit on this beautiful set table and to enjoy your sweet treats. The scones looks fantastic and I didn't knew that there exist different sorts of Lemon curd. Oh my, I have to learn so much about tea time. The hydrangeas look absolutely gorgeous, almost like fresh. And the soft faded color goes so well with the china. Thank you for this gorgeous tea time.
ReplyDeleteBest greetings, Johanna

ReplyDeleteThere's a lot to love about your post this week. I adore dried Hydrangeas - these are gorgeous! I am thrilled that they dry so well and keep for a very long time - your dining room is lovely - I was intrigued by the peak at your chandelier in a photo - it looks quite romantic. Love the tea set and the zest of a lime coconut scone sounds marvelous! Thank you for sharing with A Return to Loveliness,
