Baking and Waiting for Spring

This Easter pie looks better than it tasted- I should have trusted my gut instinct to never add gelatin to anything! Also, the shortbread crust was pretty much just a big cookie. 

After visiting Rose Bakery in Paris I knew that I wanted to get this cookbook but since I didn't want to lug it home with me in my suitcase, it had to wait for Christmas. Gorgeous illustrations and these banana oat muffins were pretty good if I may say so.

I woke up one morning really missing sultana scones and clotted cream which Ander and I ate for breakfast much too much while in Oxford last summer. These were tasty approximations but alas- no clotted cream!
