Butter... Oops! Should have been whipped cream

Today we felt like scones, jam and cream for lunch. We followed the recipe we used earlier. The scones are delicious - light and fluffy. However, the cream was over whipped... Think we just missed saving it by seconds. So I turned the page in the Everyday cookbook and made it into butter! So simple, so delicious! Tastes like old fashioned butter. No more store bought stuff for us.

Scones with whipped cream

Tonight was one of those nights. Dinner was prepared (hamburgers), a friend came over for a chat, then ended up at the vet with a howling cat. Cat is having a sleepover at the vet's prior to an operation tomorrow morning. Then I realised I had to make something for morning tea for the volunteers that help out at my work site every Thursday.

I found a scone recipe on the TM recipe community website. Decanted some of the Costco organic strawberry jam into a smaller container (seriously...I am not carrying 1kg of jam to work), and whipped some cream using the instructions in the Everyday Cookbook.

It took less than 20 minutes to make and cook the scones, decant the jam, and whip the cream.
