It's pouring rain today! For me, rainy days mean eating soups and stews, or sugary treats (or both). I have such a sweet tooth so I took Mark's suggestion (at Mark's Veg Plot) and tried out the recipe for pesto soda scones but I did the sweet version with raisins/mixed fruit and sugar. They turned out quite tasty.
 |
| The dough rolled out and ready, I dabbed on some butter, added some mixed dried fruit, and sprinkled with white and brown sugar before rolling up and cutting into a 'cinammon roll' type shape for baking. |
 |
| Prior to baking, I realised I had forgotten the most important ingredient - cinnamon. So I had to sprinkle it on top before baking (oh well). |
For the recipe and the savoury version, go to:

Those look delicious! I will have to try to make them. It is rainy here today too!
ReplyDeleteIt's not pouring down here, but it is drizzly. The scones look delicious.
ReplyDeleteThey look lovely - I notice hot cross buns are already being sold too.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't rain here often but I still like the looks of the treats. yum come on RAIN....
ReplyDeleteI bet they were great. Rolling up the "sausage" of dough isn't easy though, is it?
ReplyDeleteOh, these look good! Why am I always on a diet!!??
ReplyDeleteThese look so good! Reminds me of some made by your grandmother! I think they would be great even if it weren't raining!
ReplyDeleteNo rain here. No snow. Just dry and unseasonably warm. Hubby says we will have an early spring. I am about to pour myself my first cup of coffee for the morning. One your sweet treats would really taste good. Stay warm and dry. Have a wonderful weekend.
