Tea and scones for Halloween?
You see Lucy, one of the main characters in The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe, tried to go through the wardrobe in Narnia and went all the way into the snowy forest. She went so far into the forest that she came to a lamp post where Mr. Tummus was standing. He invited her to tea, with not so pleasant intentions. But he soon learned that not all humans are bad. That is the story that Mrs. Margaret Strickland is teaching her 6th grade class. The other day, she prepared her students a tea served with scones. Erin enjoyed the tea and the scones with her classmates; Whitney Dumas, Hunter Walker, Jordan Dyess, Slater Dozier, Isaiah Clark, Andrew Stephens, Natalie Overstreet, Dustin Huggins, Hannah May, Katie Skipper, Luke Horton, Colleen Morgan, Jacob Allen and Lake Lolley. This is a good way to engage the students in the story. Thank you Mrs. Strickland, for being the kind of teacher you are and thank you for the tea and scones recipes sent home to the parents. Tea You will need one tea bag for each cup of water, usually 3-4 teabags per teapot. You can use any flavor of tea that you like. I personally like to make mint tea. 1. Bring cold water to a full boil in a tea kettle or saucepan on the stove. 2. Pour the boiling water over the tea bags into a teapot. 3. Let the tea brew for 4-5 minutes. 4. Serve with milk and sugar and maybe lemon. * To make mint tea add freshly cut mint leaves in step 2. English scones 2 c all purpose flour 2/3 c sugar 4 oz butter 1/4 c shortening 1 whole egg 1/2 c raisins
Mix all ingredients together by hand. If they don't mix well, add a splash of milk. Pat out dough to 1/2" thickness. Cut into circles with a cookie cutter or jar lid. Bake for 8-10 minutes at 400 degrees on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flip scones over, brush tops with 1 beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar; bake another 8-10 minutes until lightly brown. Allow to cool completely; serve plain or topped with butter.
