Scrumptious!
Meet StEGGosouras - The 9 year old had an egg decorating competition at school this week...
And little miss had oodles of fun decorating her Easter Bonnet - Less most definatley is not more....
I have also baked Easter Cookies with the 9 year old. It was lovely to spend the one on one time with him, so rare nowadays. He spends so much time with his dad cycling at the weekend, it feels as if it is boys together, girls together at our house. Does anyone else find this? Anyway, I digress....
Golden Syrup Cookies
100gm Margarine/Butter
75gm Soft Light Brown Sugar
Creamed
2 tbs Golden Syrup
Added
175gm SR Flour
Folded In
100gm Chocolate (I used Eggs - Crushed & I like Smartie Eggs as they keep their bright colour)
and added
Form into small sized drops
Make between 12 & 18 depending on your preffered size
Wait patiently as they bake for 8-10 minutes at 160c (fan oven)
& mmmmm....
Enough for the smalls & us girls at work....
The Easter banner was inspired by the Emma Bridgewater card that came through the post.
G kindly (after some pouting - from me) photocopied & enlarged the postcard. I then happily sat and cut out chickens & eggs, and threaded them onto ribbon.
Only trouble is G thinks that you cannot tell them apart clearly enough...
I can though, probably because I spend more time at the kitchen sink...
Love Lydia xx
hello what a lovely Easter post .......HAPPY EASTER XX
ReplyDeleteThose biscuits look scrummy yummy.
ReplyDeleteThe StEGGosouras egg turned out great and your wee one's bonnet is fab. Cute banner too even if you did have to pout for it, you should have reminded him who washed his 12 day old pants ;) LOL
Happy Easter hon x
So pleased you liked the masks! I don't think you're at all rude, the children are miles cuter!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the recipe, I'm going to bake those next week for sure.
We seem to do the girl/boy thing too. It's not intentional, just pans out that way. Although when G's home they both way prefer to be with him, I'm more accessible more of the time and therefore a bit boring!
Are you going to be watching the new Dr later?
Hope you all have a great Easter.

Hi Lydia, I read a book about bringing up boys once, and it said that after 5 years old, boys should spend a lot more time with dad than mum, so you are doing it right!! Cookies look scrumptious. Glad to see you all having a lovely time. xxxx

ReplyDeleteAnd in the spirit of keeping the pants comments alive - be thankful he doesn't do the four way wear with his pants. Less to wash but four times worse! LOL
Ooooh such lovely colours, enticing me in there with that bowl of pretty eggs! The cookies look like just the very thing to enjoy with a nice cup of tea - alas, I am trying to lose a few pounds so I wont be eating anything like that for a bit (all my clothes are a real squeeze!!)
ReplyDeleteI love the happy bunting too, lovely!
