Mum's raisin scone recipe (so so good)

These either make 12 small scones, 8 medium scones, or 3/4 large scones. To be honest if you were  really in the mood for scones you could just make one absolutely huge scone.

Ingredients

225g self raising flour

pinch of salt

55g butter

25g caster sugar

150ml milk

1 free-range egg (you want eggs from people who are lovely to chickens), beaten

How to

Heat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas 7. 

Lightly grease a baking tray, or just cover it in baking paper (much easier and tidier).

Mix together the flour and salt and rub in the butter (gets in your nails if you have long nails which is a nightmare and feels horrid).

At this point we added raisins, and I'm sure they'd taste amazing with any other dried fruit. I'm going to try apricots next time.

Stir in the sugar and then slowly mix in the milk until you get a soft dough.

Flour a surface and knead the dough very lightly. 

Now if you want it to be perfect then I'm sure you could use cutters or something here to make sure they're all the same size and perfect, but we just ripped the dough up and patted them into rough scone sort of shapes.

Brush the tops of the scones with the beaten egg. 

Bake for 15 minutes until they're that gorgeous golden scone colour.

Leave them to cool and serve however you best like your scones.

If you make these please tell me how you found them; we absolutely loved them. 

Ivory Jar

Ivory Jar are a really edgy new brand that I think are about to get really big. They have a new range coming to their website soon, so keep your eye peeled for that. If you're ever near or around Bricklane Market on a Sunday be sure to hunt down their stall for a really unique piece.

Fudge

Fudge is a little restaurant and bakery in Hull. I'm not going to bother to bang on about how absolutely gorgeous it is, and how amazing the food is, and how cute the decor is, I'm just going to tell you to check them out and go as soon as you possibly can. http://www.fudgefood.com/index.html

You get fudge with your receipt. How. Cute.

Brighten Up Mesh Shirt - Three Floor

I could hardly preech to you all about the beauty of Three Floor without actually getting something could I?!

My Three Floor favourites.

If you haven't heard of Three Floor a) you must be living under a rock, b) you'll be hearing a lot more from them this year.

They launched their new collection earlier last month, which is full of beautiful collars and eye-popping colours. What I love so much about this brand, and I tell everyone this, is that what they create is not only on trend, but it has a special 'Three Floor' twist to it, so you can guarantee that when you wear their clothes you'll look fashionable, but not like you're just blindly following what magazines tell you is in this season.

And if all that isn't enough of a reason for you to go and check them out and buy, here are some of my favourites from their new range.
