Other special touches around this room included another ostrich feather lamp I created using a crystal candlestick, an abundance of paper rosettes (Michaels) mixed with oversized champagne glasses of crystals and pearls, and an extra tall martini glass (Hobby Lobby) that I placed in a large
flat glass bowl to give it girth.
1) Sift self - raising flour into a large mixing
bowl 2) Cut the butter into small cubes and mix it with the flour, using two knives to mix the butter and flour together 3) Once the dough achieves a sand - like mixture, use your hand to compact the dough and knead very gently 4) Sprinkle a cool,
flat surface with flour, and flatten the dough with a rolling pin until it reaches a 1 cm thickness 5) Pre-heat oven to 190 — 200 deg cel 6) Use a round cookie cutter (or a champagne
glass) to cut out small circles of dough 7) Place dough circles on a greased and floured baking tray 8) Bake scones for 15 to 20 minutes or until they have turned golden brown on top 9) Once scones have cooled, cut them sideways into half 10) Mix chopped fresh chives and cream cheese together until they have integrated homogeneously 11) On each scone half, spread some cream cheese and chive mixture, then place a couple of slices of ham and cheese on top, then top with more cream cheese mixture and finally sprinkle with fresh chives
