Oh yes, I much prefer a scone to a brothel, but I'm a bit old fashioned 😉
Enjoy yours too, dear!

Thank you for the recipe – perfect for Australia Day. You've inspired me to whip up a batch to take to a bbq today and I'm thinking I might make some little Flo flags on toothpicks for decoration.

Haha great post Veggie Mama! I chuckled all the way through it. Politicians-meh! 😛 Pumpkin scones however-yum!
Veggie Mama says
haha poor old Flo! So agree with you about politicians, scones are way more three-dimensional! And delicious…

I grew up in Peanut/Sir Joh country so cannot possibly comment for fear of offending all sorts of people. However I can openly say that Lady Flo can cook. Mum gave me her cookbooks many years ago (mine are even signed by the lady herself), and I can honestly say it's good, honest country cooking. No fuss, and the recipes practically always turn out. Even the kids will eat the pumpkin scones I make using her recipe. Her books are my go-to when I need something quick and easy to make, and yeah, way to use up leftover mashed pumpkin!
