Lemonade Scones MUM’S FAVOURITE SCONE Ingredients

Mum was a lover of afternoon tea, which on special occasions included Lemonade Scones and a nice cup of tea. Although in more recent years, a good cappuccino was more to her liking, however, scones would always be taken with tea.

One of the very first things I remember her teaching me to cook, was her grandmother’s Lemonade Scones. I remember with amusement, how intrigued I was that mum used her very special crystal champagne flutes to cut each scone into it’s perfect round shape!

The urgency was palpable as we dipped the crystal rim into the flour then into our scone mixture to cut them into shape and get them into the oven before the dough had lost it’s air!

These memories are so precious, and I will cherish them forever.

Day in France

Mother’s Day is celebrated around the world in a way in which reflects each nation’s customs and traditions, however as we all know some things in life translate the same through every language. The Language of Love!

In France, Mother’s Day or Fête des Mères is celebrated on the last Sunday in May (unless Pentecost falls on the same day, then it is celebrated on the first Sunday in June). It is a day to make Mum (Maman) the centre of attention.

On this special Spring day, family’s often come together and celebrate with a special meal, flowers and cards. Children will often practice a poem to surprise their mother with, and at the conclusion of a special meal Mother’s are often presented with a beautiful cake that often resembles a bouquet of flowers.

HISTORY OF MOTHER'S DAY IN FRANCE

In 1806, French Emperor Napoleon Bonapart, established a special day dedicated to the mothers of large families.

After WWI, in the city of Lyon (1918), this celebration was revived to honour the widows who lost their husbands and sons during the war. This day was officially recognised by the French government in 1929.

In 1941, the Vichy Regime chose the last Sunday of May as the official Mother’s Day date. In 1950, a law was passed ... “Every year, the French Republic pays an official tribute to Mothers during a special day dedicated to the celebration of Mother’s Day”.
