Cream Scones (from the Downton Abbey Afternoon Tea Cookbook)
We make classic cream scones from the Downton Abbey Afternoon Tea cookbook in preparation for our upcoming Murder Mystery “Casual Tea”
Afternoon Tea Chicken Sandwiches
We prepare another favorite savory for our afternoon tea: RecipeTin Eats chicken sandwiches featuring rotisserie chicken, a flavorful sauce, and even more dill.
Cucumber Afternoon Tea Sandwiches
What is afternoon tea without a cucumber sandwich? We go over what makes the perfect cucumber sandwich: cucumbers, cream cheese, and a ton of dill.
Mini Cheesecakes for Afternoon Tea Time
We made RecipeTin Eat’s mini cheesecakes as the dessert course for our afternoon tea at home featuring Xak’s other Sabbatical bakes.
Baking Buttery, Flaky Croissants for the First Time
It’s Sabbatical Pastry Week! For the first challenge, Xak attempts to bake buttery, flaky croissants for the first time ever.
Fig Scones and FROG Jam
After discovering the meaning of FROG jam and fond memories of fig preserves, Xak is inspired to try a new type of scone for part 2 of Bread week.
