1. I felt the need for talking with other adults at least once a week after having been a stay-at-home mom for a while.
2. I thought Bible study would enrich my life and help me get to know God better.
3. The group of people I joined had lifted me up and prayed for me when pregnant with my first daughter.
The other day, I volunteered to bring a little something to nibble on for fellowship time and picked a recipe for scones that I found in my present church's cookbook. So here it is. Adapted from the cookbook, "Real Lutherans Cooking":
Buttermilk Scones
Ingredients:
3 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 Tbsp. aluminum-free baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup butter
1 cup buttermilk
2 tsp. orange zest
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, optional
1 cup dried blueberries (or other dried fruit), optional
white sugar to sprinkle on top
Preparation:
Drop tablespoonfuls of the batter onto a greased cookie sheet. Sprinkle white sugar on top before baking. Bake at 400˚F for about 15 minutes. This is a great recipe served with lemon curd, jam and/or clotted cream (or just plain whipped cream in lieu of clotted cream!).
Variation:
Instead of making the scones with walnuts and dried blueberries, try dried cherries, or craisins and white chocolate chips. It's so good!
