I took the recipe for thumbprint-cookies from here on the Allrecipes website. But this recipe, while I’m sure it’s fine, suffers IMO, from requiring the separation of the egg yolk from the egg white and then using a different application for each component. Since I gave up on real eggs and have been using eggbeaters…
Currant News
I made these this morning. I don’t know if they are truly scones or whether they are more aptly called ‘tea biscuits’. I’d known that I was going to make something like them for some time. I bought the currants a few weeks ago with every intention of making them or something like them. I…

The store had them on sale for a dollar. That was for ten envelopes. The interesting part was that on the cake aisle the 4-pack was still…
