I couldn't resist doing a bit of baking this evening so I made some scones and they turned out lovely and light. We ate one each straight out of the oven with butter and ginger and apple jam, oooo they hit the spot.
I keep thinking I should reign in the baking of sweet things a bit (I've, er, put on a bit of a 'Winter coat') but is it really that bad for me compared to the sweet stuff I'd buy if I didn't bake and wanted a treat? At least this way I'm doing something I enjoy and eating food that's free of preservatives and additives and where I can see exactly how much sugar, fat and salt's going in. It's not healthy but I think it must be better to have a home made scone with butter and good quality jam than a chocolate bar or ready made pudding. And this is more fun that nipping round to the shop for something sickly sweet and wrapped in plastic.
