On a day when you're already doubting yourself the last thing you need is to make the worst scones in the history of scones. They're what Baldrick would make if Baldrick made scones.
I usually use a Delia Smith recipe but today I thought I'd try Mary Berry's for a change. I don't think you can see quite how thin and unrisen they are. I will have to stuff them with jam and call them jam splits.But a lovely walk this morning to Pobbles with Daughter, GrandSon3 and GrandDaughter2, plus dogs. GrandSon3 waited until the rain shower passed then went in the sea. I was wishing I'd brought my swimming things and my body board because the waves were ideal.
Much more rain on yesterday's walk with GrandSon1 and Toby in the woods. We had to run from tree to tree - neither of us had coats - and finally gave up and accepted we would get wet.
The Tree Creature has a new hair-do.
And we spotted this lovely parasol mushroom in amongst the heather.

An inventive baker, renaming the scones! Who's to know. As long as people don't ask for them again. They might not turn out that way twice.
Your scones look edible. That's a bonus in my book!
I hope not!
Covered in butter and jam they're edible!
I thought Mary Berry is the Queen of British Baking? And yet her scones recipe sucks? Very disillusioning.
I bet many recipes were developed based on the fact they didn't resemble the original intended one.
I’ll take your word for it. They look good enough.
Think I’d try the scones anyway! Lots of butter and jam!
The scones might not be so bad, but now I understand your second post about your husband. I love the tree creature. I wish I had a hairdo like that.
Love,
Janie
Precisely! Couldn't possibly have been my fault!
It's the only answer. Though your baking is wonderful.
You mean I have invented something new! I should call it the Elizabeth slice.
They tasted okay.
Yes, quite acceptable.
This is one of Tree Creature's better hairdos.
I made scones at the weekend but managed to forget to add the egg to the mix - now THAT was a fail!
