A Beginner's Adventures in Cookingland

Scones

Posted by: Anca on: 8 March 2011

For the past two weeks, my secret passion was to bake. The designated way became Sunday (by laziness more than anything else). And boy, it’s so wonderful to eat breakfast at home with some warm bakery.

Nothing beats the smell of fresh bread in the morning! :D

Before I go into recipe details, I must admit that this sudden change in morning habits is due to my two new best friends.

1. my new Kenwood kitchen machine. It’s red and it’s a life saver when it comes to dough. I’ve always disliked kneading and, frankly, that does not help when you want to bake. So here’s where my Kenwood comes into places. He does all the work for me – bless his ‘little’ engine :)

2. my new book Bröd. It was on sale at my local supermarket and it was all worth it. What I’ve baked so far turned out just like in the pictures. The recipes are simple and easy to follow, which is always a plus.

Here is the recipe:

7-8 dl flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
100g butter, diced
3 dl milk

Preheat the oven of 250.
Mix flour, baking powder and salt in a jar. Mix in butter and break with the fingers to a
grainy mass. Mix in the milk and stir together.
Grease 12-14 small individual forms (I used the muffin forms) and place the scones batter into molds.
Bake in oven for about 10 minutes.

Best served freshly made and warm with home-made orange marmelade.

Yes folks, what you read is true. I make my own orange marmalade! I sooo make my mother proud every single day :p

I will let you know soon how that adventure went.

But that’s all for scones. Voila! Bon appetite!
