My starter has definitely recovered. Very pleased with this week's loaf.

Nice bread sallykate.

I always try to make my scone dough at the dry end of the specrtrum; that seems to help them to rise better and avoid being too cakey. Minimal handling and no rolling pin.

I have never made buckwheat scones, but now I am tempted. Sadly my buckwheat flour may have moth grubs in it.

Other baking: tarte au pistou with puff pastry, pesto, thinly sliced tomatoes and fresh thyme and basil, and a filo pie filled with spinach, ricotta and semi-dried tomatoes, with a base of onions and garlic. No photos of those.

May make brownies tomorrow with daughter - to get her through the second half of her GCSEs.

I made scones when I worked in a National Trust café and always got good results. The dough was not sticky iirc. It rolled and cut cleanly. The oven was temperamental and I used to have to turn the tray half way through cooking. But they always rose real well and were gorgeous.

I left in a huff and forgot to nick the recipe though.

Wonderful loaf, sallykate.

I remember when I made scones at school - they rose so well they went through the oven shelf above and rejoined on top.
