MAGALY’S SCONES
Life has
become much more lively since Magaly arrived.
Invitations to tea in her
bungalow are so eagerly sought after that it is rumoured she’s had to keep a
rota. Anyone who upsets the rhythm of our retirement village finds their name
dropped from her list. Last month Barry Evans allowed his dog to foul the
footpath and didn’t clear it up – he’ll be lucky if he gets another invitation
this year.
Magaly is
an excellent cook and has mastered many of our English favourites along with
her own, but her cheese and herb scones are exceptionally good. She is happy to
share the recipe – best butter rubbed into wholewheat flour, baking powder to
make them rise, and a fist-sized lump of Cheddar grated into the mix along with
a handful of herbs. It’s the same way I make them, but there’s a subtle
difference.
I stayed
behind last week to help her wash up, and there was a packet on the table
bearing Columbian stamps. I sniffed it when she wasn’t looking.
Now I
know why her scones make her tea parties go with such a swing.
She uses a special blend of herbs, eh?
