And Finally,

As you've probably been preparing for Halloween, here's a traditional Scottish recipe for Treacle Scones (good for kids parties anytime)

8 oz plain flour
2 oz butter
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
a pinch of salt
1 tbsp treacle (black treacle or molasses)
milk

Rub the butter into the flour. Add the soda, cream of tartar, cinnamon, ginger and salt. Mix thouroughly. Melt the treacle with a little milk. Stir into flour mixture adding just enough milk to make a firm dough. Knead lightly on a floured board. Roll outr to 3/4 inch thickness an cut into triangular pieces. Bake in a greased tin in a hot oven for 10 to 15 minutes.

After the scones have cooled, thread a string through each one (your stitching skills should come in handy here), dip each threaded scone liberally in treacle and suspend them at about waist height. The game is to have your kids eat the scones with their hands behind their back. Very messy and a lot of fun.

A bientot!
