An Introduction to Baking

Baking is one of the most daunting types of cookery. It looks so complicated, so much can go wrong and it’s not especially healthy.

However, starting simply is one of the best ways of beginning your baking passion (and it will become a passion).

This is a simple, fantastic, tasty recipe to get you going. There’s no fuss, no scales, little measuring (using mostly spoons) and it brings results quickly. http://www.bukisa.com/how-to/make-the-perfect-scone

Baking makes a house smell like a home. There is something innately comforting about the smell of home cooking and scones are especially aromatically pleasing.

While not the healthiest choice, a little of what you fancy is good for you. Everything in moderation is good advice and cutting all your favourite foods out is more likely to make you binge than cutting back. You could substitute half the flour for wholemeal and these scones would still taste wonderful. Oatmeal would be another excellent option.

If this has given you the baking bug why not try out a few other recipes, care of http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/

On another note, I have written 3 books. 2 are part of a series set in Scoltand about the Sidhe, fairy folk. Available on kindle and in paperback:

The Island of the Mist is book 2

The Stone in the Sword is book 1

The 3rd book is an adult, sexy witchy werewolf/vampire story set in New York and featuring a strong female lead character, again available in kindle and paperback formats:

The Wolf, the Witch and the Coffin
