Scones are absolute classics in the UK. Here in Germany, those small, crumbly treats have still not really caught on. It’s a shame – I really like scones. For me, delicious Blackberry Scones like these here are among the easiest and most uncomplicated pastries you can make at home. You just have to love them ;)
If you live in Germany you know them from the bakery around the corner – sweet pastries with fruits or berries and streusels on top. There is so much to choose from. In the past I loved to get one of these pastries in the morning on the way to work. The perfect breakfast on the go. Unfortunately, they are always quite sweet and sugary – something I try to avoid these days ;P Well… there is always the option to bake something like these delicious Rice Pudding Pastries (Streuseltaler) with Blackberries at home. They are quite easy to prepare and really scrumptious.
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 ;)
