Anyway, I digress. So far, I have successfully changed his taste for Chocolate Fudge and Eggplant (sort of). This time, it's scone. Not that he hates it but the dryness.
I like the sound of tarty strawberry with the acquired goat cheese - seemed to taste good as I imagined it. I was a little hesitant with whole wheat flour but it turned out well. In fact, it gave the scone a sort of bonus crunchy bite. I also used brown sugar instead of white sugar.
I halved the recipe and still got 6 good-sized (about palm big) scones. The scones were served with homemade strawberry jam and overnight sour cream (lemon juice + cream). Adrian claimed it to be the best scone (and sour cream) he ever had. They were perfect with the strawberry jam and second with raspberry (short of strawberry jam supply).
I also made Mulled Hot Chocolate again, which was even better than the last one!! However, coffee lover takes note: the spices in this hot chocolate don't seem to fare well as mocha material. It was ok for me because I dislike espresso but not something for a coffee snob (like Adrian).
Ingredients
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1/3 cup butter, chilled and cut into large pieces
1/2-3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
1/2 cup diced fresh strawberries
- Preheat oven at 200C.
- Sift together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.
- Toss chilled butter into the flour mixture. Using your fingers, rub the butter pieces with the flour until the mixture resembles coarse sand. It's ok to have some pea-sized pieces.
- Stir in milk, goat cheese and strawberry to combine.
- Divide the batter into 6 portions and flatten into 1 inch rounds on a baking sheet. Cut each round into triangle.
- Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
