Floury Fingers

Yesterday I baked scones with my friend Sophie, using my mum's recipe.
Here it is, in case you want to try it.

you will need:
8 ounces self raising flour
2 ounces margarine
1 1/2 ounces sugar
2 ounces glace cherries
1 large egg
2 tablespoons water
(makes 6 - 8)
to make:
1. preheat oven (160 degrees)
2. rub margarine into flour (until it's the consistency of breadcrumbs)
3. add the sugar and the cherries, and mix in (make sure the cherries don't stick to each other)
4. whisk the egg and the water, and mix in (until you have a soft, pliable dough)
5. line a baking tray with greaseproof paper
6. split the mixture into round balls and flatten gently
7. put the scones on the tray and glaze with the leftovers of the eggwash
8. cook for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and then leave on a wire rack to cool

I felt like a land girl or a housewife, baking with my hair up like this. Next time, I'll take in some evacuees and build a bomb shelter.

Today, I have to run errands like posting birthday presents and university forms, and taking my cat to the vets. I can't stop listening to "plastic romantic", a remix of the Laura Marling song New Romantic, by some boys under the name of Microphyst. Listen to it here.

P.S. The Sartorialist spotted a fellow 1940s-esque lass a few posts ago, how nice.
