You will need:

3 cups self raising flour and more for dusting

80g butter, cut in small cubes

pinch of salt

1 cup milk

2 tbsp natural yogurt

Preheat an oven to 225*C.

Place flour with salt and butter in a bowl and rub until it resembles fine breadcrumb. Add milk and yogurt and knead until smoth. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and roll out to form a rough shape about 2.5cm thick. Cut out circles with a glass and place on a baking tray covered with a baking paper. Brush tops with a bit of milk to give it a golden color.

Bake for around 20 minutes.

I served mine with rucola, scrambled eggs, a bit of cheese and fried chorizo. Yummy!

You can also freeze dough formed in scones :)

Enjoy, Marta

You will need: 

150g flour

110g polenta

60g cheddar cheese, grated

handful herbs (sage, basil, thyme), chopped

2 eggs

250 ml buttermilk

1 tbsp sugar

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

4 tbsp olive oil

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl. Grease a baking form (I used 20cm x 10cm) and place your mix in it. Bake in 180*C (350*F) for about 45 minutes.

Serve with your choice of eggs on top. I made scrambled eggs and it was a good choice :)

Enjoy, Marta

This is also the time when I'm going through recipes and I want to eat everything. But then the daylight comes (so essential for my pictures), I want to take pictures of what I've prepared and the state of "standing next to my body" appears. I promise to make my pictures better soon. I hope that it will pass soon because hanging out with friends in the evening is too hard when the only thing I can concentrate on is my pillow.

I baked this scones in the middle of the night as I needed something for my jam. I used Martha Stewart recipe but I added coconut instead of blueberries and yogurt as a replacement of cream (I did not feel like going to a store at 4 am). Martha says that to create soft scones you shouldn't mix or knead it too much. I think she's right. 

You will need (for 8):

2 cups flour

3 tbsp brown sugar

1 tbsp baking powder

3/4 tsp salt

6 tbsp cold butter, cut into small cubes

3 tbsp coconut

1 tsp grated lemon zest

3 tbsp yogurt plus you can brush tops of scones if you like

2 eggs, lightly beaten

Preheat your oven to 200*C. In a bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. The next step will be to add butter (remember that you need it cut in small cubes), coconut flakes and the lemon zest. In a small bowl mix together eggs and yogurt and then add it to the dry ingredients. Mix it just a little bit, until all the ingredients come together. Place the dough on a floured surface and knead just a little bit (just few times). 

Flat the dough so it's about 3 cm thick and cut it like on a picture. Transfer it on a baking paper and bake for around 20-22 minutes. Tastes amazing with a homemade jam :)

Enjoy, Marta
