Woke up this morning and noticed this determined little ivy leaf growing inside the window frame.
Day two dawns and breakfast plans are yummy.
Buttermilk and Strawberry Scones
INGREDIENTS
1 cup leftover sliced and sugared strawberries from yesterday's breakfast, drained of excess liquid
1 cup flour
1 t baking powder
1/4 t baking soda
1/4 t salt
1/4 c cold butter
1/3 c buttermilk, plus extra tablespoons as needed
1) Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Mix dry ingredients in bowl.
2) Cut cold butter into small pieces then cut into dry ingredients until the butter is the size of peas. The rental happens to have a pastry cutter which made it easy. I have made two knives or two forks work before as well.
3) Mix in buttermilk gently. Add extra tablespoons of buttermilk until the dough just sticks together.
4) Sprinkle flour on a flat surface. Turn dough out onto the flour. Put flour on hands so the dough doesn't stick. Pat out dough so it's flat enough to dump strawberries into the middle. Gentle fold in strawberries and pat out into a circle. Try to work the dough as little as possible.
5) Cut the circle into four and place in a greased baking pan. Brush each piece with buttermilk and sprinkle with sugar.
6) Bake in 425 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown on top.
VOILA!
