More currant madness! With more currants, a bit of left over coconut milk from the previous icebox cake, and a trip to a working mill this recipe was born.
We had a nice day out at Brignorth, stopping at a working water powered mill. It is supposed to be the biggest in Britain. We had a guided tour with the son of the owner.
After the guided tour, we were free to linger and take pictures. There was a older disused mill on a short trek onsite. The was also a viaduct with the Severn Valley Railway passing by now and then. It was quite the evocative setting!
We finished our visit with a cream tea, the scones were made from the flour ground onsite with local wheat.
We also took some flour home!
