Jeff is praying
On one sad evening there was a strange animal that was all by himself. His family had left him because they didn't love him. He had done bad things like, disobeying his parents, bulling his friends and messing up his room a lot.
His parents still love him but don’t want to live with him anymore.
One day Jeff went outside of his house and he was praying for his parents too come back and live with him forever and ever.
When he was finished praying he went inside and he heard a voice. “ Jeff were are you “ said his parents. “ Who said
That “ said Jeff. “ Jeff were are you. We are your parents, come here. “ what, ahhh, Mum, Dad, you came back for me. Yes we did” said Mum and Dad. From that day they lived happily ever after.

The day my mind went WOW!
The day my mind went WOW!
I can feel a nice crispy bread.
I can see dark purplely jam with sloppy cream on top.
I can taste nice fluffy flour with strawberry Jam.
I can smell fluffy flour and dark Jam like the colour purple.
I can hear crispy, crunchy bread like the sound of chicken spitting in the pan.
3 cups Edmonds standard flour
6 tsp Edmonds baking powder
¼ tsp salt
extra Meadow Fresh milk
75g butter
1 to 1½ cups Meadow Fresh milk, approximately
METHOD
Preheat the oven to 220ºC. Grease or flour a baking tray.
Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Rub in the butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Add the milk and quickly mix with a round-bladed table knife to a soft dough. For light and tender scones the mixture should be quite soft and a little sticky. Scrape the dough onto the floured baking tray and flour the top.
Working quickly, pat the dough out to 2cm thickness and with a floured knife cut it into 12 even-sized pieces, then separate the scones to allow 2cm space between them. Brush the tops with milk.
Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Place on a wire rack to cool, wrapped in a clean tea towel to keep them soft.
