Party Sugar!

You've asked for it; we made it!!

So many of you have asked about our "special" sugar that we serve in our tea area that we decided to package it up for you. Perfect for your special brunches, birthday parties, or just because. We have bagged up 2 cups of party sugar for $2.50 a bag. We are also running a special on our delicious Iveta scone and biscuit mixes (featured on Ophrah's O list). Here is Ellen to give you a few pointers on making your scones come out light and fluffy:

The directions on the package call for 1 cup of heavy cream - no substitutes - and they mean it. But because humidity can vary here in the great North-Wet, I have found that starting with just 3/4 of a cup often works best and then I add more if it is too dry. Don't over mix! Mix JUST until it binds - overmixing will produce dry or tough scones. Kneed it lightly (about 4 times) and pat into a domed circle about 6 inches across. Cut into 6 to 8 wedges and bake as directed. If you are going to sprinkle sugar on top, brush on a little cream and sprinkle your sugar before you bake. Serve plain, with clotted cream, or your favorite jam!
