Looks yummy cookie, i baked today , but gave it away, sponge cake with strawberries & cream and made a egg custard (minus pastry)  i still make cakes, the way my mother taught me, on old fashioned scales, but use eggs as the weights, so you can use pullet or banty eggs.

Never made cheese scones, but think i might try

[10phizz]

...............well , I wasn`t until I saw that lot !

[cookiecookuk]

rhubarb how do you use eggs as weights?:|

[cat-knitter]

I want to bake now 😄  .......... I never bake !

[ginap.123]

Saskias coconut & cherry cakes

[rhubarbcity]

rhubarb how do you use eggs as weights?:|

The scales look awful, but they where my mothers and i always cover with greaseproof paper

You need the old fashioned scales and put your eggs where the weights usually are and then weigh butter,sugar, mix them together, the flour is then weighed and the  eggs  mixed in one at a time

[chickengrandma-2008]

I do the same with electronic scales.  Weigh the eggs and then weigh the the other ingredients to the same weight.

You've got to start them young haven't you Gina.  😄
