Today............ Happy Easter

Today I have had quite a lazy day! Just pottering around and actually done some baking!
For lunch today, I made these Savoury Scones:

They are not make the usual way:
4C SR Flour
300ml Cream
375ml Soda Water (I used Lemonade)
1/2C with a mix of onion, bacon, cheese, pepper and herbs.
Sift SR Flour into a bowl, place all the other ingredients in and mix well to make a dough. Kneed slightly and roll out and cut with a scone cutter. Place into a 200deg oven until just lightly brown!
Makes approx 18 (I made a double batch)

Easy peasy and SO light and fluffy!


And, I didn't stop there! I also made these mini Lemon Cheesecakes too!


I had these last time I was in Burnie at Vicki's home. Christine made them and we all loved them! I have made them quite afew times since, very hand to keep in the freezer to take to work!
Here is what you need:
250g Cream Cheese, Softened
280g Jar Lemon Butter
8 Butternut Snap Cookies (though I have tried them with other sweet biscuits and they work just fine too)
Line 8 holes of a Muffin Tray with Muffin cases, place the biscuit's flat side up in each. Using an electric mixer, beat cheese until creamy, then add the lemon butter. mix until nice and creamy. Spoon mixture onto biscuit's and freeze for 2-3hours or until firm. 5 mins before serving, remove paper and serve with a dollop of cream and some raspberries on top! YUMMO!!
Makes 8 (and yes, I made a double batch!)


I hope your day has been eggcellent as mine!
