Light, flaky and savoury scones that use only three ingredients.  Not only that, but they go together in a flash! 



Three Ingredient Cheese Scones 

You can put these together in about 5 minutes, pop them into the oven, bake and be enjoying them in less than half an hour.  No kidding! 


Three Ingredient Cheese Scones 

All you need is self raising flour (self-rising), grated cheddar cheese and plain yogurt.  That's it!

You simply stir the cheese and the flour together with a fork, and then stir in the yogurt to make a soft dough.  Pat it out to a rectangle . . .  cut . . .  then bake.

You can easily make your own self raising flour.  Simply add 1 1/2 tsp of baking powder and 1/4 tsp salt  for every 140g/1 cup of plain flour.  Easy peasy!

I found the original recipe written on a scrap of paper.  I suspect I had copied it out from a magazine at the Dentists or Doctor once upon a time.  I adapted it to use both Metric and American measurements.  You're welcome!

Easy Almond Croissants

  When we lived down in the South East of the country we sometimes took ourselves over to France for a day out.  We were not all that far from the ferry back then, and it was an easy jaunt and a pleasant trip over on the Ferry. You could be sitting in Boulogne enjoying a hot drink and a plate of Frites in only a few hours, even faster if you took the car train through the tunnel.   I preferred the ferry over the train for several reasons.  For one, you could get out of your car and stretch your legs.  For two, you could spend the journey in their comfy lounge enjoying a drink and one of their fresh almond croissants.    Oh boy  . . .  one of the things that the French do very well, aside from their beautiful breads and macrons  . . .  is croissants and my favourite of all are the almond ones.  They are quite, quite, QUITE delicious to say the least!   It has always been my dream to spend a week in Paris, in the Spring time...

Canadian Dutchies

Maple & Cranberry Baked Apples

   Baked Apples one of the comfort foods we like to enjoy in the Winter months.  Apples are plentiful and at their best. We don't mind having the oven on, and they are delicious and very easy to do.   I had recently gotten some fabulous Organic Dried Cranberries and Ceylon Cinnamon Sticks from Buy Wholefoods Online and I felt they would be perfect for using in this simple and easy dessert. If you are not familiar with Buy Whole Foods Online you really need to look them up. I buy all of my dried fruit from them every year for my Christmas Cakes, and other bits and bobs throughout the year. Buy Whole Foods Online is an international health food supplier, based in Minster, Ramsgate, North East Kent.
