I have made the scones, pikelets,feta and beetroot scones and to day will be lemon butter.<br />I am travelling Australia so decided to purchase a small bench top oven and the fun I am having cooking.<br /><br />I have been able to use duck eggs (as we are on a farm in Qld for a few weeks and their are duck eggs galore).which seems to make the scones, pikelets fluffy.<br />All my cooking has been a success due to your precise measurements.<br /><br />Your stories make the recipe even more interesting. <br />I have many more to try and and I am so much enjoying cooking again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6196832473535198635.post-82344168108882129902011-07-31T20:00:52.164+10:002011-07-31T20:00:52.164+10:00So pleased you love this book Anonymous.

It typifies the days of old....when I too went to stay with my Nana at her farm in Kingaroy.....and helped out with all the farm chores. <br /><br />I haven't tried the Pikelet recipe yet but I certainly will.

I wonder if they eat it all over the world? I remember when the kids were little, and they'd eat them faster than I could turn them out of the pan.

Pardon the pun. <br /><br />Hey there sweetie - I know you were so spoilt with fancy cakes and all sorts and yet I couldn't get a simple pikelet right. Funny isn't it. Your comment has made my morning. <br /><br />By the way, the cup and saucer came from your great grandmother on Dad's side of the family. Fine bone china made in England sometime back in the 1930's or 40's I think. I really should find out. Rather special don't you think? xxxxThrough My Kitchen Windowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17300798774076098054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6196832473535198635.post-68396908120956942242011-02-02T23:39:22.571+10:002011-02-02T23:39:22.571+10:00And I especially like the first picture,how positi...And I especially like the first picture,how positively delightful!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6196832473535198635.post-33850060885495804052011-02-02T23:38:19.507+10:002011-02-02T23:38:19.507+10:00I actually never did like pikelets growing up, per...I actually never did like pikelets growing up, perhaps this is why mother!

I know you saved heaps of money that way and they gained greater benefit from your food being "home-made". Muffins were your speciality as I recall. You made all sorts didn't you? All good-old fashioned filling food. <br /><br />Yes, yes I'm home. See you soon then. Great. The scone recipe incidentally is my mother-in-laws.

I think the flapjack is a thicker pancake, like the pikelet, but the pikelet is smaller. I haven't a clue what a drop scone is. Scones are totally different over here and nothing like a pancake. Actually my next post will feature a popular Australian scone, so stay tuned dear. Your comment about my photo made me happy.
