Wednesday is usually mini roast day.
Today I'm roasting a couple of pork chops with slices of sweet apple. Accompanying the pork will be jacket potatoes and peas.
For pudding, a fruit cocktail and yoghurt.
If I have time I might make some drops scones too.
This is a simple easy dinner to make and I like simple. Especially tonight.
I don't want to be up to my eyeballs in tins and pans because The Great British Bake Off is on tv tonight.
And the girls and boys are making Madeira Cake.
-After coating the pork chops in black pepper and dried sage I placed them in the roasting tin on top of wedges of onion. They are cooking up a storm. Really gorgeous aromas emanating from the kitchen
-Decided against the jacket pots opting instead for.....After par boiling the potatoes I drained them, shook them around the pan then threw in a handful of flour and coated them in it. This gives a nice texture.
-I did have time to make some drop scones. Only I made a dozen spiced treacle ones.
These will be spread with a little butter and apricot jam.
I made the usual mix of self raising flour, egg and milk, but instead of the usual amount of caster sugar I used a tablespoonful of treacle and for added warmth a good shaking of mixed spice. They of course cook up slightly darker than regular drop scones. I tried one and it was very good although next time I'll be more heavy handed with the spice.
I'm popping over to see Rob's mum and dad tomorrow afternoon I think I'll take them a freshly made plate of scones. And although Viola is diabetic she does throw caution to the wine and engage in eating a little sugar. I expect my drop scones will be welcome.
