Flashback to Eid 2009

I know Eid is like, over but seriously? Did you think i would not be posting photos and reminiscence about bygones Eid? Soooo not gonna happen! So here is the start of backtracking through out Syawal. 

Ps: There was are very good reasons to why i am late with these photos. 

1. Somehow Baby PP managed to delete...YES delete photos from one of the camera. It was already transfered to my laptop that i brought back and yet she deleted them while smacking random things on the laptop...but get this...it was NOT IN THE TRASH! Gah.....thankfully Daddylicious managed to recovered them all...albeit it took some time and looking for free recovering system.

2. Then my laptop refuses to acknowledged the recovered and transfered photos to be uploaded. Harumpph! But...moving on! 

Eid 2008

We celebrated as a married couple for the first time.

Just the two of us

Since my grandmother passive aggressively said "Makmak tutup kunci pintu je la raya ni, bukan sapa nak balik pun" (I will just lock the doors during Eid, there won't be anyone coming home anyway), we made a trip back to MY hometown Alor Star! before heading to Kelantan on the 3rd day :P

Eid 2009

It was our 2nd year Eid as a married couple. 

This time it was just the two and half of us. Half! in my huge tummy!

Since i was 8 months pregnant, a 5 hours trip back to Kelantan was out by flight and by car. OUT! Will not take that risk. So Daddylicious missed his turn to celebrate Eid in his hometown.

Eid 2010

Our 3rd year Eid as a married couple but who cares about that? Its Baby PP's FIRST EID.

Now there are 3 of us!

And Daddylicious FINALLY got to celebrate Eid in his hometown in Kelantan after missing it for 2
 years. So it was the whole family (*sob i have a family!) first time raya in Kelantan!

Do you want to see how pregnant i was last raya? These photos will showcase how BIG i was!

Mummylicious easy peasy scones: While pregnant at 38 weeks

image from Recipecurio.com

During my pregnancy, i got the strangest urge to bake. Bake, bake, bake. That's what I did most. My nesting period was mainly baking. Don't know why. I even baked on the day i was scheduled to give birth (schedule induce delivery). 

What did i bake on that morning? Baby shaped scones! or tried to at least to make them baby shaped...

I just love to have fresh scones for breakfast and tea!

Concentrating hard on making scones :P

Mummylicious at 38 weeks pregnant, on the day we were to go to the hospital.

Mummylicious Easy Peasy Scones recipe

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups of all purpose flour
• 4 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 cup of white sugar
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 5 tbs unsalted butter - softened (most of the time i use salted butter and not add salt)
• 1/2 cup of raisins (optional)
• 2/3 cup of milk (or 1/2 cup milk and 1/4 cup of sour cream. i never tried this one)
• 1 egg
• 1 tbs milk

Preparations

Preheat oven to 200 degree Celsius

I just use bowls, spoons and my hands. I find its more soothing.and i get the right texture this way.

 Pose! See...using hands to mix. 

Don't worry, I am a sucker in washing hands between every procedure.

1. Sift flour and mix with baking powder, sugar and salt
2. Slowly add butter and mix until butter is pea sized lump. (this is when using hands are easier to know when to stop mixing! the mixture should be dry like crumbs.
3. Stir in raisins if you like
4. Mix in 2/3 cup of milk (or sour cream option). Stir gently until well blended.
5. Floured hands and pat dough into  2-3 inches wide balls.
6. Place on greased baking sheet and flatten the top of dough lightly. So it gets its flat top. 

Finished texture. Should be something like in the bowl

If you want to make shaped scones. Grease cookie cutter and place dough inside. Gently lift out cookie cutter and then bake! ....shape will expand though..like mine did. need to experiment more.

1. Prepare the eggwash! Whisk egg and 1 tbs milk. Brush on top of scones with egg wash.
2. Rest scones for 10 minutes (i always skip this step! or at least just leave it for 5 mins :P)

Baking time!

Oven 200 degree celsius. No fan!

Bake for 10-15 minutes in the oven until top is golden brown.

Guess the scone shapes game for breakfast!

And tadah! you have your fresh from the oven scones in 30 minutes! Yumyum. Now to eat it all, less than 10 mins...*nom nom nom nom*
