a bit overdone -- I'm still learning with my new shortbread pan |
In our family, the Christmas season goes until January 6, Epiphany (Three Kings' Day). We keep the tree and other Christmas decorations up until then. On or around the 6th (usually the Sunday following Jan. 6), we have a nice meal together.
In recent years, we've made this meal a winter tea. This Sunday my family will enjoy another winter tea in the afternoon. Here's my planned menu so far:
- homemade scones with an assortment of spreads
- cookies (perhaps finishing off the Christmas cookies or more of the above-pictured shortbread cookies)
- cranberry-chicken salad on beds of greens
- tea cups of cream of broccoli soup
- lots of tea, of course
- there will also be some hidden chocolate coins (for "gold") tucked into each folded napkin
The shortbread above was made with another gift to me, this shortbread pan. My family knows I like to bake. I overdid the first batch. I know now to move the oven rack up one slot and bake for a minute or two less. But I do think the cookies are pretty anyway.
Do you do anything for Epiphany or Three Kings' Day?
