Cheese Scones

[Svejk]

just made my first ones. You know the ones in M&S, better than that, apart from the one I made out of off-cuts. Honestly, I cant believe how good they look.(haven't tasted them yet, mind. In fact they look so brill it's a shame to eat them).

[Svejk]

If it's anything like my other 'fads', elina, i'll make them every/other day for months. (till I'm sick of them ;))

[Svejk]

'Lurpak' anne. That's OK innit?

[Elina]

Yes, I can see them stacked up covering every surface & falling out of anywhere you can stuff them LOL!

[anneasquith]

lurpak.............. perfick innit :)

[Svejk]

If the worst comes to the worst I can use them to block the steel off the shutters in work, ;-)

[DaisyNonna]

No, never bought scones of any sort in M&S.
Well done, hope you enjoy them. What next?

[Svejk]

Don't know, I'm a bread pudding and now scone master. Any suggestions? I'd like to make bread but not with yeast or sour milk.

[anneasquith]

flat bread ?

[DaisyNonna]

What do you like to eat?

[Elina]

Soda bread.

[Svejk]

I like Irish bread, we call it fadge. But I think you need sour milk for that.

[Svejk]

Soda bread, that's it, same as fadge.

^The one in her picture looks catmandu.
I'd have to get sour milk, but I might try it for the craic.
Have you made that, elina?

[Elina]

Recipe says you can use milk with lemon juice Svejk to make it sour. Yes I've made soda bread a long time back.

I bake cheese scones to have with leek and potato soup. They're lush.By that I mean they compliment each other :D

[Svejk]

If I have to slog all the way to Asdas (30 yds) for a lemon, I may as well get buttermilk(if they've got it) I might have a bash over the w/end, watch this space. ;)

[DaisyNonna]

Why not have a go at choux pastry? You can add cheese for cheese puffs or make eclairs if you fancy something sweet.
Very easy and fun.
Just sounds posh.

[Elina]

Not too sure buttermilk is readily available svejk. You can buy lemon juice in a bottle not just fresh, cuts out the messy squeezing.

Not sure if we need to know if you're having a bash over the weekend...
