I am a big fan of scones. Served with some jam and clotted cream a real treat. Unfortunately, clotted cream is extremely rare to find here in Germany. That’s why I love scones that don’t need cream, jam, or anything else added. Scones that are good to eat as they are ;) Delicious little fellas like these Chocolate Walnut Scones. You can have a coffee on the side, of course, but nothing else is needed. A perfect snack/dessert you can take anywhere ;)
Summer is always a great time for baking. You have a wide variety of fruits and berries to choose from, and everything you bake with those fruits/berries automatically tastes great ;) These Nectarine & Orange Scones are the perfect example here – delicious summer scones. Great flavors, fruity, refreshing, and also super easy to prepare. The perfect bake for a hot summer day if you want to get in and out of the kitchen quickly ;P Heat up the oven, bake some delicious scones in a whiff and then head to the lake or park for a picnic with friends! Perfect!
I don’t want to be the one telling you “I told you so…” – a new lockdown has just recently been announced for Germany… the social distancing rules getting more strict, some people started hoarding toilet paper again… let’s hope that flour and yeast are not disappearing this time or I will go crazy for sure ;P Well… just in case you need to stay home and want to bake again – I got a new recipe with bananas for you. Banana bread was very popular the first time, why not try something new? How about some Banana Bread Scones? Equally delicious and easy to prepare ;)
I love scones! They are easy to make and taste incredibly delicious. This is exactly why they end up in our oven so often – summer and winter alike. When it’s colder we prefer savory scones but in summer we definitely prefer scones with berries or fruits like these Strawberry Scones here. I mean – berries and fruits are available everywhere, so why not use them to bake delicious stuff, right?! ;)
In spring this year I bought a little raspberry bush for our terrace – hoping we could harvest so many raspberries so I could make maybe a cake or raspberry scones like these ones here… but well – this dream did not come true! Not at all. That’s why I had to get some from the farmers market for baking. So sad ;(
I am pretty sure you all heard of scones or even made them already, right? Scones are one of those typical British bakes you get with your tea. Normally served with clotted cream and jam. Delicious treat! For these scones with cheddar and bacon, I recommend something else: sour cream with herbs or just some salted butter. Maybe a beer. Jam would be weird… but who knows. I bet some folks would like that too ;))
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
