I really love that it’s holiday again today. I’ve always loved year-end. Full of holidays. And yeah I admit it does make me feel lazy. :P
Today I decided to try the bread machine that I dug out 2 days ago. My parents bought it many years back – like at least 7-10 years back – and only used it less than 10 times. Poor thing.
We went out buying some ingredients after lunch, and started working on it almost immediately. Wah helped to set up the bread machine and according to the timer shown, it will take us 3 hours to bake the bread. Uh, yeah, 3 hours. >.<
The bread machine.
So we left it on and went back doing our own work. And then my hands started itchy again and I started googling some recipes for scones. Why scones? Coz I thought Wah loved it. :P
By then, the dough in the bread machine looked like this.
It was fun working on the scones. Instead of blueberry as stated in the recipe, I used chocolate chip instead. Although it didn’t really look like scones but it tasted really nice. :)
Had some for tea break and took a short nap, until dad knocked on the door and said the bread machine broke down. @.@
What to do? Dad decided to take out the dough and knead it manually. And then instead of making a whole loaf of white coarse bread (what I initially planned for), he made buns, with the streusel topping I had left over from the scones. LOL!
About 45 minutes later, we had this.
A little too hard on the outside, but soft on the inside. Would be good to dip in a bowl of mushroom or chicken soup – yeah we are planning for one tomorrow! :)
