It is filled with the history of so many National Trust properties and traditional teatime recipes.<br><br>The cookies look yummy. I really like currents and often add them to scones.<br><br>Also, I wanted to mention a magazine to add to your list. The November issue of "The Herb Companion" (20th Anniversary) has a lot of articles on tea, as well as recipes for scones and muffins.<br>The editor says that this special anniversary issue celebrates tea.parTea ladyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17106196613047314184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-83235275114583223762008-10-06T10:35:00.000-04:002008-10-06T10:35:00.000-04:00Oh lucky you!

In New Zealand, Shrewsbury biscuits are a plain biscuit that comes in two halves - one half is a plain circle (or, even better, witha bit of a crinkly edge), the other half is a circle as well but has a small hole in the centre. When cool, the two halves of the biscuits are put together with raspberry jam.<br><br>There's a recipe here (which I've not tried but looks about the same as my one).<br><br>http://www.recipezaar.com/Shrewsbury-Biscuits-51669<br><br>Also, american biscuits are similar to (but not quite the same as) British/Commonwealth scones. Your scones (from what I tasted in California, anyway) are a bit drier than ours. :)AllieTheKiwihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05742655956007529738noreply@blogger.com
