a kitchen day
I did something different and took a day in the kitchen. It wasn't as productive as I'd hoped, but I finally made rock buns, which I've been wondering about for years. The recipe I used is here. They seem to be scones in rock bun clothing - I mean, doesn't that look like a scone recipe to you? You roll the dough into balls, but you could do that with scones if so inclined.

they looks tasty and love the idea of having a day in the kitchen. if I had a day in the kitchen it'd have to be to clean.

How bad can it be, Sandra? All you need to do is clear a space big enough to work in....
DeleteWhat a lovely day for baking, Lisa! I've never heard of these before, though I really enjoy making scones.
ReplyDeleteI've heard they're popular in England, Nellie. But I'm kind of stumped about the similarity with scones.
DeleteRock cakes are popular here in Australia too (I guess from our ties to England). Yum.
ReplyDeleteAh, Rock cakes, that brings back memories of when the kids were growing up, tasty, not too fragile for school lunches and picnics and quick and easy to make.Always eaten with lots of butter...yummmm
ReplyDeleteOnce I made real rocks, in home ec . we were making scones (english) and the teacher said "now you knead them girls" just then the Headmistress came in the room for a 10 minute chat, so I kept kneading.......she never said gently ! so by the time they were cooked, you couldn't get a knife through them, at all.... and even the 2 stray dogs at the railway station after school refused to eat them !!!
