Scones and winners of the colour contest

Winners of the tetley colour contest giveaway are Brenda and Krishnaveni.

I selected the winners using random.org. Congratulations.

There were so many responses that I requested and was offered 2 gift baskets instead of 1, so thank you everyone and Tetley for these wonderful gifts.

2 cups flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup butter cut into cubes

2/3 cup buttermilk (or 1 cup milk and 1 tbsp lemon juice)

2 tbsp chocolate chip optional

Mix everything until it comes together as a dough. Put it in a floured board and roll with a floured rolling pin.

Keep folding the scones and rolling a few times this will make fluffy soft scones, don't forget this step.

Roll to 7" diameter and 1/2" thick circle, then cut into triangles. Let stand for about 10 minutes, brush with buttermilk. Bake at 400F for 15 to 20 minutes.

Put icing sugar on top and if you like put in the broiler for a minute or serve with icing sugar on top or jam in the middle.

Colour contest giveaway

Colour is part of our lives and it influences us everyday. You already know, I have a monthly event where I choose a colour with a giveaway and we link up dishes.

Tetley offered me samples of their new herbal tea products.

They are indeed colourful, each one has a unique flavour; calm, soothe, warmth, mojito, cleanse, clarity, dream, peppermint, wild berries, summer berries and more.

Tea does calm and energize me. The day start with a morning cup of tea and ends with one, and sometimes in between :)

Leave a comment on this post and tell me "What's your colour today?"

All my friends around the world join in the fun; it will help me pick the next colour.

Due to shipping anyone living in Canada (except Quebec) can win this gift basket with canister/tea pot, containers of tea and greeting cards, worth approximately $70)

Giveaway ends on December 15, 2010 so leave your comments and I will pick a winner randomly.
