Oh Me>>>Oh My…where does time go to. A huge apology to all my lovelies here, for being so inactive on my blog site recently, I had so much happening, from my Move back Home to South Africa, To Eid-ul-Fitr and later entertaining my Family that had come to stay with me for a week, all I can say Is Time waits for no man!!!
So Now as things begin to get back to a more acceptable rate of movement for me, I am finally sitting down to write out this blog post. Having had my Abba (dad) come stay with me for a week after Ramadaan, had been such a blessing, the week had also been dotted with some BitterSweet moments, when my heart literally ached from missing the presence of my Mummy. This had been the 1st time since my late mum’s passing, that Abba had opted to get away from Durban. I’ve always had both my parents come spend time with me before, so you can imagine how new this feeling had been this time round. Glad to have had this opportunity to care for my Abba, with what little I could in the few days, had also seen me cooking and baking up a storm. So much so, that a tiny request for scones, had me whipping up a batch of my ‘Hi-T Scones’.
Like that saying above goes..”Time Awaits For No Man”… I urge you to not let any opportunity go by without attempting to Please Your Parents/Family/Friends…and Ultimately gaining the pleasure of YOUR CREATOR above, In Sha Allah, Ameen.
Happy Scone Making Lovelies, As always I look forward to your feedback.
LOVE Marriam?

Notes by Foodeva Marsay
- If you are in South Africa, Buttermilk may be substituted for Maas (Sour Milk)
- Try handling the dough as little as possible, using a spatula to cut and mix in the flour.
- You could also make use of Self Rising Flour instead of All-Purpose Flour.
- Don’t be alarmed if the dough is a little sticky on the inside, carefully pat out dough, dip cutter into flour before cutting scone shapes. You can add more flour if you can’t handle the sticky dough.
- By allowing the scones to rest between handling, allows for the ingredients to react, producing a higher rise in the scones.
- Worry not about the Cracks along the side of the scones, these allow for you to perfectly ‘break open a scone’…Like You should be doing, instead of cutting through it 😉
