As we do have a 1950s theme we're going to need a Jelly mould {aka Jello}. Ours will be rabbit shaped and pink!

Now....Sandwiches. The standard tea party sandwiches are cucumber & cream cheese, cress, egg mayonnaise, roast ham & english mustard...maybe we'll have some cheese sandwiches too. I'm trying to be traditional...but I might have to bust out the goats cheese and beetroot chutney.
SCONES! With jam and cream and lemon curd!

ReplyDeleteEnglish Traditional Scones
Makes 8-12 scones
Time to prepare: less than 30 minutes
Time to cook: 10 to 30 minutes
Ingredients
55g/2oz butter
225g/8oz self-raising flour
a pinch of salt
25g/1oz caster sugar
150ml/5fl oz milk
Instructions
Firstly heat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas 7. Next mix together the salt, flour and butter. Stir in the caster sugar and then the milk until you get soft dough. Turn the dough onto a floured work area and knead lightly. Pat to a round 2cm/¾ inch thick. Using a 5cm/2in cutter, stamp out the rounds and place them on a lightly greased baking sheet. Knead together the rest of the dough and stamp out more scones to use up all of the mix. Brush the tops of the scones with a little milk. Bake for 12-15 minutes until well risen and golden.
Cool on a wire rack and serve with butter / jam / clotted cream.
Let us know how they are!
