Baking
has become a form of therapy for most people in this season; mostly
insinuated by the amount of banana bread that has been baked and
hashtagged online. Hence, the decision to join the bandwagon by baking
British scones. If you follow me on my social media pages, you’ll also
notice that I love me some baking, and this is an opportunity to amplify
my skills.
However,
before I share the ingredients and the link to my video showing how I
bake my scones, I want to check-in on everyone. I hope y’all are doing
alright, as it’s been such a tough and challenging time for both
countries I identify with; Nigeria and the United States (U.S.) For the
latter, protests have rocked major cities to show strong displeasure
about the unwanted killing of George Floyd and several Black American
people at the hand of racism and the police, while at the former a young
girl reading in church, was raped and murdered. Still on Nigeria, a
little girl was raped by 11 men and another shot by the police.
My
heart is dismal, with the continuous tragedy that has trailed this
year. I hope in all of these going on that you find a way to lend your
voice to justice. Also, comfort those who are grieving, and remember
self-care is important in maintaining your sanity.
Scones
are quite easy to bake for a beginner and take about an hour to put
together. P.S. Heat oven at 350 degrees or 180 celsius, before baking.
You can also source other ways of baking scones from YouTube.

Besides, I want to leave you with a bible verse, to encourage you into the new week.
2 Corinthians 1:3 Praise
be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of
compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our
troubles so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we
ourselves receive from God.
