now for something with the tea!

[kiltedwolfman]

everything sounds quite tasty so far... any recipes to add so all might enjoy? I'm leaning towards that fig pudding, it sounds very yummy.;)

[Standard]

Wheat crackers and cheese, or if a little fancier cucumber sandwiches.

[Sammac]

shortbread or scones with lemon curd!

Use any Peanut Butter Cookie recipe, but replace the peanut butter with almond butter. You might want to add a little more sugar, too, since there's no sugar added to almond butter. Bake as recipe directs, and don't log in to XMTS while you're baking them, unless you want them to turn out a little beyond "crisp".

Homemade shortbread. I finally got my mom's recipe.

Oooo, I need that.

Almond butter cookies. I always bake them too long, and they get really hard. Dunking them in a good cuppa makes them juuuuust right.

Yes. Yes.

McVities Digestives when I can get 'em.

Amen, Brother!! My preference is the "Plain (AKA dark) Chocolate"! FYI, Whole Foods carries them; as does World Market...

[Kiltman]

Milk or honey in the tea and whatever else I can get to go with it.

[KiltedKnome]

Steve's Great Aunt Margie's Icebox Cookies........I keep a roll of the dough in the freezer, and slice and bake when we pull out the tea pot.

Fresh baked white scones with home-made strawberry or raspberry jam and Cornish clotted cream ! aka afternoon cream tea.

Also, fondant fancies and cucumber sandwiches (with the white bread's crusts cut off).

Alternatively, a big mug of steaming brew and a Scotch mince pie, watching the game (if there's no Bovril) ! Barry-gadgy !!

In the afternoon, at this time of year at about 1600 hrs, hot crumpets with lashings of real butter and a good dollop of raspberry jam, sat in front of the fire.
