Hi Henrietta. Mr Oliver must've been at a Christmas Party to be home so late. I dreamt of baking since I have a lot to do today.

Good morning Geoff. Scones are so delicious.

Good Morning Mary. Yes, there is something very special about a freshly baked scone.

I've been enjoying your scone recipes a lot, Geoff. It's rare that we have them here in Southeast Asia, but my family and friends are scone lovers now.

Hi Geoff, I’m going to make these scones today! I’m getting over a head cold. Couldn’t smell or taste a thing. I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to "taste" Christmas! They started to come back last night. Even better today! I shall enjoy a scone and a cup of tea this afternoon! Perfect timing for your recipe! 😋😊🎅🏻🎄❄️☃️

[@geoffsbakingblog]

HI Judith. That's great. I hope you enjoy them. Glad your cold is on the way out, ready for enjoying all the Christmas delights.

[@DarwinBorja-t7z]

Hi, Geoff. Thanks for sharing. Happy new years.

[@geoffsbakingblog]

Hi Darwin. You are welcome. Happy New Year to you too.

[@Navygrl58]

Geoff to the rescue! I have so much baking between now and Christmas day that this will be perfect for Christmas morning! I was just wondering if you have a video showing how to make homemade candied peel, because here in the States it’s so hard to find a really good mixed peel that isn’t waxy and fake tasting. If you didn’t do a video on it, maybe it’s something to think about to share with us in the future. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 👍🏼🎄🎊

[@geoffsbakingblog]

Hi NavyVetGrl. I didn't do a video of making the mixed peel. In fact I made the lemon and orange separately. They have a much better texture than the shop bought version here in the UK. The process is a long one, or at least how it did it is. For each type it took 10 days. However a lovely by-product is a sort of homemade golden syrup too. I used the method shown in this video, which I am sure would be wonderful in Panettone: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rX23c42Dnd-srsk

[@suzanne4784]

Miam ... je fais cette recette mais sans épices, je vais essayer. D'autre part je laisse reposer la pâte au frigo 1/2 h, est ce bien utile ?

[@geoffsbakingblog]

Hi Susanne. J'espère que vous apprécierez les scones. Il n'est pas nécessaire de laisser la pâte au réfrigérateur, mais cela ne fera pas de mal.
