AUGUST IS FLYING BY AND OHIO TEA ROOMS

 August is flying by and fall will be here

before we know it.  I am so excited to

find that the church we attend will be

having it's first tea for ladies this fall.

August 21st we are meeting at a restaurant

to begin making plans and I was invited

to help. Of course I can help!

  When we

lived in Colorado many of the

churches in Colorado Springs had

teas for the women.

I share a collage today of some of my

2021 summer bouquets.  They bring me

so much joy as my garden is ever changing!

I love my new TEA TIME MAGAZINE

and if you live in Northern Ohio you will

love the tea rooms they feature in your

area:

These tea rooms are the type I love with

charm and comfort:  Quintealia's Tea Room in Burton, Sisters Tea Room in Mentor, Piccadilly Parlour Victorian Tearoom in Canfield, Macaron Tea Room in Woodere and Miss Molly's Tea Room in Medina,  Clementine's Victorian Restaurant in

 Omlsted Falls.

KEY LIME SCONES

Monday night I decided to make scones with a recipe I had from the July/August 2007 issue of Tea Time. Delicious Key Lime Scones were made and quickly consumed!  I found the recipe made about 13 scones.

Of course a nice pot of tea 

goes with the scones!

Here is what you will need: 2 cups sifted flour, 5 Tb sugar, 1 Tb baking powder (reduce in high alt), 3/4 tsp salt, 5 Tb cold unsalted butter, diced, 3 oz cream cheese, cubed, 1 egg slightly beaten, 3 Tb fresh key lime zest, 1 1/2 Tb lime juice, 1 tsp vanilla extract,1/2 cup plus 2 Tb heavy cream, divided. 

 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  

In a medium bowl, sift flour, 4 Tb sugar, baking powder and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter and cream cheese until the mixture is crumbly,  Stir in egg, lime zest, juice and vanilla. Mix in 1/2 cup cream until combined. Form dough

 

Roll on floured surface and cut using scone cutter. Brush tops with other cream and sprinkle with sugar......bake 15 minutes till lightly brown.
