Now why I'm wondering have I never thought to try honey in scones. Well done to Sylvia for coming up with the idea. I was interested to hear you say you didn't rest the dough before cutting and baking - I've not heard that this was required before so have never done it. Also interested to hear that honey is much cheaper than maple syrup - it's so expensive here now. Sad to hear Australian bees are suffering too, I thought that was one of the places they were doing OK. Thanks for entering these into We Should Cocoa and I hope you enjoy the round-up. Hope to finish and post by Tuesday.Choclettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173996730095174268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-30802762906475894282013-04-22T14:28:07.048+10:002013-04-22T14:28:07.048+10:00Thanks Laura - your comments gave me a great laugh...Thanks Laura - your comments gave me a great laugh (slapshot!!!) as well as being very kind - yes changing Dame Slap is so wrong - stories are just the place for kids to learn about right and wrong in a fun way - I wonder what Enid Blyton would think of Dame Snap!

By the way, I can't believe that Dame Slap has been changed to Dame Snap...!!? That's just wrong. I get so sick of this overzealous political correctness. I read The Enchanted Wood just as it was, and I haven't turned into some sort of unrestrained slapper (of either kind, haha). Thanks for this beautiful snap(slap??)shot into your family life. This recipe is definitely a winner!

To my amazement, I haven't experimented much with honey and chocolate and am now wondering why on earth not. I'll have to rectify the situation. I don't regularly have honey but don't avoid it strictly as would fit a stricter vegan than I am.Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887621874869110597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-12702559657622925842013-04-20T11:36:04.265+10:002013-04-20T11:36:04.265+10:00A VERITABLE MOUNTAIN OF SCONES BEGGING TO BE SPREA...A VERITABLE MOUNTAIN OF SCONES BEGGING TO BE SPREAD WHILST WARM WITH DELICIOUS NUT BUTTER!!!Hannahhttp://wayfaringchocolate.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-47975775942922000222013-04-20T08:55:22.131+10:002013-04-20T08:55:22.131+10:00Yummo!
