I made these yesterday, so thought I’d share the recipes with you…sorry the recipes are approximations, but I just guess half the ingredients!

Cheese Scones
Ingredients:

• 8oz SR flour
• 3oz butter/marg
• Salt to taste
• Milk to mix
• A good amount of strong grated cheese
• A good shake of dried chives

Just crumb together the butter and flour, add the salt, most of the cheese and chives and bind with the milk. Mix well but not too much, and shape into a round about1 inch thick. Cut into 6 triangles. Bake on a greased baking tray for about 15 minutes in a moderate oven (Gas 5) then split, butter and eat while still warm!

Cranberry and Pistachio Cake
Ingredients:

• 4oz marg
• 4oz sugar
• 2 eggs
• 4oz SR flour
• A handful of dried cranberries
• a handful of shelled pistachios
• Some cranberry juice
• 2 tablespoons of sugar

Cream together the butter and sugar, and add the eggs and beat well. Mix in the flour, and cranberries and put in a loaf tin. Scatter the roughly chopped pistachios on top. Bake for about 35 mins at Gas 5. When cooled sightly remove from the tin and make the syrup by boiling some cranberry juice with sugar until it coats the back of the spoon. Brush over the still warm cake. Lovely served sliced and buttered.

So there you go ~ yummy scrummy!
