from spectator.uk:
I find that, with the making of scones, as indeed with any baking, it is important to be in the right frame of mind. It’s no good if you become distracted, for example by someone dying suddenly and unexpectedly on the Archers; if so, hiccups, or total disasters, loom.
But I also think that, especially with scones, it’s important not to concentrate too much: speed and agility are key; try to develop a kind of insouciance about it. This lightness of touch helps the aspiring scone-maker to come nearer to creating the accordion-like delicacies that gather fluffy as clouds atop WI fundraiser trestle tables.
