It´s Teatime!

A delicious cup of tea and some canapé in the afternoon – we don´t need anything more for being happy. Today we´ve made two different sandwiches. One with eggs, cress and creme fraiche and the other with salmon, cream cheese and dill. And on top of that we´ve created scones with white chocolate and strawberry jam. After 2 minutes the dishes were empty, it was just too heavenly.

All 3 recipes are easy-peasy in the making – come and join us!

 

Ingredients for 8 white chocolate-scones:

• 75 g Butter

• 250 g flour

• 1 parcel baking powder

• 2 tbsp brown sugar

• 150 ml milk

• milk to spread the buns

• brown sugar to sprinkle

Preparation:

1. Heat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas 7. Put a baking paper on a baking sheet.

2.  Mix together the flour, the baking powder and the butter with your hands. Stir in the sugar and then the milk to get a soft dough. Cut the chocolate in small pieces and mix it in the dough.

3. Turn on to a floured work surface and knead very lightly. Form small buns. Brush the tops of the scones with the milk and some brown sugar.

4. Bake for 10-12 minutes until well risen and golden.
