Zest and juice of one lemon
450g self raising flour
80g unsalted butter, cubes
3 tbsp caster sugar
300ml whole milk

Preheat oven to 200c. Sift flour with a pinch of salt and Sdf the finely chopped lemon zest. Rub butter into the flour until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar and a few tbsp of lemon juice. Gradually mix in the milk until you have a rough dough (not all the milk might be necessary). Mix or knead as little as possible. Turn into a floured board and roll to a thickness of 2cm. Cut out rounds with a 6cm cutter. Put on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes. Cool on a rack and serve with cream and jam.

Bean is a cat

Posted on February 26, 2011 By admin

We just found bean sleeping in a nest of toys and blankets, on the floor in the doorway if his room. Again.

He just grabs everything off his bed, piles it in the floor and just falls asleep…

Village markets

Most Saturdays, when we’re in town, we go to the market and stop by the butcher. Bean just loves him. Actually, he has a thing for the Tesco butcher as well but our local one is his bestest pal in the whole wide world. We also get some sausages from a local producer called The Giggly Pig. Bean is a sausage addict and would clean out all of the sample plates if we let him. Generally, we share a sausage bap but today the sausage lady became his BFF when she gave him his own sausage out of the blue.

Local markets rock.

So do sausages.
