The original scone recipe in the book used lard rather than butter, but you would be hard pressed to find that as an ingredient nowadays I think.

It mirrors the cookery book and it gives the piece a life of its own, as if it has been around for a while and been involved in lots of baking and cooking through birthdays and celebraions. I have my mum's book from the sixtie and its all semolina puddings, soda bread and proper hearty dinners with carrots and turnips!

And I see all of those features in this piece as well. What a lovely tribute to your mom and other moms like her!Textile Rangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00547494144471550828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236944057573310628.post-82111918104289968872020-05-01T15:51:17.694+01:002020-05-01T15:51:17.694+01:00Fiona strikes again -brilliantly!

I enjoyed, as always, reading your blog post about your thought process -the gradient of the words, for example; baking terms to attitudes. What seems random is anything but!Maureen @ Josephina Ballerinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09026799070718705353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236944057573310628.post-59520360748928277222020-05-01T14:36:37.190+01:002020-05-01T14:36:37.190+01:00The teatowel wasn't the most pristine in the f...The teatowel wasn't the most pristine in the first place Wendy, so tea-dying was probably an improvement :)Celtic Thistlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033484481693226138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236944057573310628.post-65743158826573997142020-05-01T14:34:17.477+01:002020-05-01T14:34:17.477+01:00This is so clever, I love it!
