{Eggless} White Chocolate British Scones
Perfect British scones with the added flair of chocolate! Eat them just warm or cold on the day of baking, generously topped with jam and whipped cream.
Happy Valentines Day!
I proclaim ‘cranberries’ as the new love berry.
There you have it! That’s the gist of this post.
You see I feel the cranberry is very underrated red fruit. So, I am resurrecting its glory in these scones and making it the centerpiece of my day! Now, the thing about them is they are indeed hard to love. There is an acid tartness to them that you either fall head first for, or, decide there are easier fruit to lust after. But, if you look at the whole package and beyond the cutting first taste and look how it melts and loses its hard exterior to become a soft, succulent package with just a little love (and heat), you can truly appreciate it’s worth.
Strawberry Lemon Whole Wheat Scones
The season for strawberries is finally here!!! At least in the markets; even farmers' markets. These are obviously hot house fruits because the weather, even in June is a bit erratic. Lovely, all around but certainly not high Summer as it you would expect it to be. I love that this is start of a bounty of produce that overflow in the markets and so many more options in vegetables.
Given the straddling seasons and because lemons are always cool, I paired the berries with hints of citrus from the fragrant zest for these scones. They are light, full of flavor and so so crumbly and soft. The perfect way to start a good day!
Sweet Potato Scones with Hints of Cheddar
If you follow me on Instagram, I posted a few days ago one of the reason from my quiet around here - not having a kitchen! These scones were one of the few things I actually thought about and baked in my kitchen. And, then, actually shot. So, here we are, as the festive season comes running up to us..
'Ramp'ing up to Spring
Ramps belong to the onion family and are native to North America. They are, perhaps, one of the few indigenous wild produce still preserved here. These wild leeks are delicate plants that add a robust flavor to dishes. Much like spring onions, the whole plant is edible with the leaves being milder in flavor than the bulb! Scones are a great way of enjoying the flavor. They make for a perfect snack or accompaniment to leisurely brunches.
