"jamfaced" news and stories

When it comes to afternoon coffee or tea, scones are a classic accompaniment. Rather than the heavy and dry creations that so many American coffee shops like to sell to unsuspecting consumers, a real British scone is a bit more like a (US) biscuit, light and somewhat fluffy. They are not particularly sweet, hence the need for jam and cream to be served with them, but they do have a worryingly addictive buttery flavor that will make you reach for a second or third if they are on the small side. These scones were baked up by UK food blogger Jam Faced. They have currants and a bit of orange zest in them, which really provides flavor boost, and they were served with clotted cream and black cherry jam.

I just had to share this photo with you - it being one of the best 'bottle' pictures I have seen recently. The light and reflections are just superb. It is taken by Monkey Gland at Jam Faced and is just one of a host of excellent pictures he has uploaded on to flickr.  You might recognise the bottle, the blue is so distinctive, but it is Bombay Sapphire Gin.
