I love to cook, but I seldom do any baking. It is just too exacting, and I prefer the creative freedom of throwing whatever catches my fancy into the pan and seeing what comes of it.
But, I felt like scones this morning, and they weren’t going to make themselves. So…
Surprisingly easy, these plain scones with orange zest took all of 30 minutes from setting foot in the kitchen to setting one in my mouth (scone, not foot).
Serve these up with jam and clotted cream or butter (and, of course some fine tea from Mariage Frères in Paris). Totally yummy!
(Yes, I am a bit of a gourmand. Sorry…)

I tried my hand at a little baking today – nothing too complicated, just gingerbread cookies.
I much prefer to cook, where I can create on the fly; baking seems a bit too constrained and measurements need to be too exact to suit my temperament.
The cookies turned out yummy, and now I have dessert for the week. Goes well with eggnog too.
Just another fun part of the holiday season.
Cheers!
