While we're on the subject of Easter....

• My first ever attempt at Hot Cross Buns produced a batch of hot cross scones.
• My 2nd batch was far more successful. On advice from my father (the baker) - use at least a third more yeast than you think... and double the sugar... and never get it started in milk -regardless of what the recipe says. (Guess what my recipe said?) Milk contains acid that yeast doesn't like.. always use warm water. Ok then.
• That said... I think there is also a place for hot cross scones. Quite tasty.
