making your own dress form

Cinnamon-raisin bread... hot yeasty Pa. sticky buns, filled with brown sugar and pecans... sunflower seed bread... pumpernickel, warm and fragrant... soft lovely oatmeal bread, sliced, toasted, and slathered with wildflower honey... Maybe I could live with a chubby dress form... Cea

I'm with you on this! As a Scot, scone recipes are close to me heart! Here's MY favourite:

Some self raising flour

A pinch or two of salt...

Milk or cream... Preferably just on the turn!

Possibly some sugar...

Pour enough flour into a bowl, and add the salt and enough cream/milk to make a good dropping consistency - and mix with an old kitchen knife!

Pat it out on a dusting of flour to a neat round, and cut into 6 or 8. Cook on a nicely floured girdle, until risen and golden underneath: turn over and cook through.

They can be frozen, but girdle scones are best eaten hot of the girdle, with a little butter and some home made raspberry jam!

In my 20s I used to get people telling me all the time that I was too thin, which I didn't believe. I can see it now on the photographs, but at 96lbs and 5' 1", I wouldn't bare my arms because my boyfriend said they were fat...

Ye gods.

Some boyfriends (and some husbands!) have a lot to answer for. The dirty rats!
