Each year I debate with myself whether to carry on the tradition of scone making? And this year the decision seemed to have been made for me when I came across not one, but two scone recipes. So, it is time for International Scone Week 2019.
A long standing tradition
In 2011 bloggers around the world gathered to make scones. If you want to know more about how this came about, read Celia’s post. How I would love to sit around the table with Celia and share some of her amazing bread. Celia and I have a connection through our sourdough baking. And whereas my starter is languishing in my fridge, Celia bakes all the time. She makes the most amazing breads and if you are not a fan of bread baking but want to know more about saving our planet, be sure to follow her blog.

I am heading to East London tomorrow and will be on the road all day. We are going away for motor racing and will have limited access to the internet while I am gone. Please forgive me if I don’t reply to comments straight away. I will be back at work on the 5th of August for a couple of hours before I start a week-long celebration of my 50th birthday.

The list is endless 🙂
Yay for International Scone Week and thanks for continuing it. I’d better get my thinking cap on! Hope you’re having a good trip and Happy Birthday celebrations.
Looking forward to seeing what you make and thanks for the wishes
So glad you are doing International Scone Week again – such a nice way to celebrate your significant birthday! It gives me a great excuse to try a new scone recipe and to start dreaming of new scone ideas! Hope to be back with something fun!
Hope so too.
Enjoy celebrating your 50th with motor racing! Sounds fun. And I was just thinking about trying my hand at scones!
Hope you make some and join us!
Looking forward to participating in International scone werk, what a great excuse to bake and eat scones.Thanks, Pauline
Looking forward to your contribution Pauline 🙂
hi tandy
i’m going to rearrange my blogging schedule to fit in a scone recipe:-) So later this week it will go up. good on you for continuing this fine tradition for ISW! cheers sherry
Looking forward to seeing your recipe, and thanks for that!
I changed my schedule at the last minute so I could fit ISW in. It’s too important to miss 😀 Here’s my contribution. Lemon & Thyme Spelt Strawberry Shortcakes – https://tinandthyme.uk/2019/08/spelt-strawberry-shortcakes-with-lemon-thyme/
Thanks so much for taking part. I’ve tried to comment on your post but it didn’t go through. Will come back next week when I’m on a laptop and not my iPad.
I made two lots of scones using tahini instead of butter so I have headed my post Tahini Scones – they were chocolate tahini scones and sundried tomato, parsley and tahini scones. Both could do with more experimenting but I had lots of fun making and eating them. Thanks for the inspiration tandy!
These sound so interesting, and thank you for taking part 🙂
Oh dear, didn’t see this until the night of the 11th. Next year…
If you have something to post soon then please do – the timing is flexible 🙂
thanks for hosting again! i made some orange rosewater scones (:
Thank you Heather for taking part 🙂
