Okay from the sublime to the rediculous, I did the healthy start to the year last week so now you have my Scottish Snowballs, the sweet stuff that ticks none of the healthy living boxes at all. Wait of course it does, it is healthy to enjoy yourself and have some fun and these traditional…
TREACLE SCONES
This is Halloween and apart from pumpkins (originally turnips for lanterns here in Scotland) and witches etc treacle scones are part of the Halloween traditions in Scotland. As kids we would have to try to bite the treacle scones that were hung up in the kitchen as a Halloween party game.
