and we are wrapped in history,
inhaling ancient times and lands,
comfort of ages in our hands. (Faith Greenbowl)
I hope your Tuesday is off to a great start.
Rooibos is an all day drink which can be used as a pick-me-up in the morning, a superb thirst-quencher during the day and at night it helps you to relax and sleep well. (MontegoTea.com)
Rooibos on its own is rather strong but Rooibos & Vanilla is quite tasty. And having it along with a cranberry scone makes it all the better.
Preheat oven to 425. Combine 3 cups of flour, 3 TBS sugar, 1 tsp of baking soda and 1/2 tsp salt. Cut in 6 TBS of butter until mixture resembles fine meal. Add 1/4 dried cranberries. Mix in 1 lightly beaten large egg and 3/4 cup of buttermilk to form a soft dough. Turn onto lightly floured surface and pat to 3/4 inch thick. Cut with cookie cutter and transfer to lightly floured cookie sheet. Brush tops with a bit of buttermilk Bake about 18 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
The scone recipe is from the January 2008 issue of Good Housekeeping (Courtney Cox's Currant Scones); I prefer dried cranberries rather than raisins.
Best wishes to one and all, Tammy

Hi Tammy!
Oh, tea and scones ~ YUM! I think I would prefer the cranberries too. I have a pumpkin scone recipe I am preparing to post. Maybe today if I get a chance :)
Nice stopping by to visit with you!
Tammy, this scone recipe sounds devine. I love scones with a tiny bit of butter, and a smidge of strawberry jam. I'm certainly in the mood for one right now!
Have a wonderful day!

Hi Tammy...Your scones sound great. I love scones...especially raspberry ones with a light glaze. I know you don't like sugar.
I hope your day is super today, Tammy! Just super---like you! Susan
Ooooo, sounds wonderful, Tammy!!! Wish I could stay inside and bake today! :)
Hugs,

Leave it to you, Tammy - I always come to your blog in the middle of day feeling hungry. The scones look great. :)
The best I can do for an afternoon snack is an apple from the orchard and I do think I have some tea somewhere here in my desk drawer.
Happy Tuesday.
ooo how absolutely yummy...everything goes better with a scone I think
Your quote is just perfect too Tammy!
Happy T day to you

Hi Tammy,
The cranberry scones look wonderful...yum and will be so nice with a cup of tea. I like your sweet cutter. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
You asked about the wedding, it was in the afternoon but over here we call the feast you have at a wedding, a breakfast. Even though the name tends to imply a morning meal a wedding breakfast is far from what the breakfast is generally used for. There was a wonderful feast of delicious food and drinks for everyone.
Happy day
Hugs

Mmmm..looks wonderful and I can just imagine the smells from your kitchen :-) I use cream and sweetner in my tea, so I can handle the strong stuff..I need to try some of that blend...
Have a sweet weekQ
Love tea, rooibos is good, but I REALLY love Earl Grey and scones are my favorite. Your recipe sounds pretty simple, I may try to make some myself! I enjoy your blog.
whahahaha! Yes, you are so right! (this is a reply btw, nothing to do with lovely rooibos, love to drink it as well xx), I will change my c into a G... you know, that even my 13-almost-14 year old said something about it not being written this way...hahaha, yes, I'm getting old.... I had to check the link to see what you where saying, hahaha, still laughing here...
Anyway, yes, camera's... I'm not good at the details and all, but since I am talking about this kind of camera for 3 whole years, I am so happy with it! ok, gotta go, have to make some tea, and tanks for the comment Tammy, you always can make me laugh xx Maureen
you see...tanks instead of thanks.....sigh...time to stop...Mx
Tea and scones sound wonderful right. It's cloudy and chilly here in the Illinois!
that recipe looks delish!
I drink rooibos tea with soy milk, is lovely that way
HI TAMMY,
YUM....SOUNDS DELICIOUS........I LOVE SCONES WITH A TSP OF MARMALADE.........I LOVE THEM WITH DRIED CRANBERRIES TOO.....MY FAVORITE TEA IS LADY GREY, IT IS MILD AND RELAXING.....RIZZI
Thanks for the visit. These scones look so delish! But when aren't scones delish right? Have a great rest of your day, or is it tomorrow already? xox Corrine
The scones look so yummy. Rooibos is one of my favorites. I didn't know it helped you sleep better. May try it in the evenings. Happy tea day.
Thankks for sharing the recipe, Tammy!!! I've got to try out the 2 scone resipes posted this week on T Tuesday.... :)))
Happy T!! :)))
Your scone recipe looks a lot simpler than mine, but I seem to find the hardest recipe around when I make something. Looks like great minds think alike. Amazing that we both chose this week to make scones. Mine look a lot lighter than yours, and I used dried cranberries, too. Yours have more texture, too. I want to try yours to determine the difference.
A symphony of flavors! I love anything with cranberry :)
Happy Tuesday ... Now I'm off to read your previous post about the poor kitty
I love scones - haven't made any in a long time. They go perfectly with tea or coffee, don't they? I haven't tried roobibos tea yet...my hubby is the tea lover, so perhaps we'll have to try this!
Love tea and this recipe sounds wonderful. I have never made scones but thought about it recently so this maybe my first recipe.
Oh enjoying your music...takes me back in time.
Tea and scones mmm.... my favourite. Yours sound delicious. Here in South West England a real treat is a 'Cream Tea', Pot of tea, two light as air plain scones, clotted cream and strawberry jam, There's some debate between Devon and Cornwall whether the cream or the jam is first, Anyhow the taste is great.
Have a great day,
Hugs, Angela.
The cookies lookes so yummie and I think I´d prefer cranberries too before raisins.
And I feel I must bake something today as well.
A cake or some muffins maybe. :)
Roobois tea is very yummie in my taste and I like the strong ones! :)
Hope you are having a great day!
Hugs!
Tea and scones? Is it OK if I have coffee and scones?
God bless and have a wonderful week :-)
Sounds yummy. I have been on a diet since we got home from our trip. I have lost 4 lbs so far. eating lots of fruits and veggies. Low fat, low sugar. :)
I just went through a ton of recipes today looking for scones....I think I like yours the best.
Thanks T
