philmayfield 6,140 Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 No, Morton near Fiskerton. I do know someone from Morton near Bourne. That's Ted Gray, quite a character, who now lives in Southwell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonab 1,644 Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Something I used to really enjoy was a cobbler which is a casserole topped with scones (they are placed on the top of the casserole much as you do with dumplings). We sometimes have something similar here with a boeuf en daube with English style scones on it. I had to show Mme what scones were and (oddly) she was quite taken with them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plantfit 7,597 Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Never go too heavy with the rolling pin on the scone mix ( I prefer to gently press the mix with my finger tips),leave them about 1/2 an inch thick, and never twist the pastry cutter,just press and lift when cutting them out Rog 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,895 Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Carni I sometimes make up a batch of pastry and crumble but don't add liquid to pastry. I bag them in 200 g and freeze them . They are handy for a quick pud. Got the ingredients today for scones will make them in the morning. Just in time for our 11sies. Don't be late or they'll disappear 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plantfit 7,597 Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Always brush the top of the scones with a little milk Rog 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,467 Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 Combining two topics in one photo. The BeRo factory at Daybrook, with Daybrook railway station below it. The whole site is now a retail park with Homebase and CurrysPCWorld etc. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonab 1,644 Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 I have persuaded Mme to do a boeuf en daube - with scones - for tonight's meal. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
