Little pots of yumminess

Some more home comfort food for you, this time little individual pots of bread and butter puddings, but with a twist. I added some summer fruits that I had in the freezer, before pouring over the egg mixture, and backing. Very satisfying.

Cold weather and comfort food.

The temperature has dropped outside, my washing froze on the line, and my stomach is crying out for comfort food. Its time for soups and stews with crusty bread, and home made scones. There is nothing like good old traditional food to warm you up when its cold. Making scones always reminds me of baking with my Mum on a Sunday afternoon when I was small, roast chicken at lunch, then chicken sandwich's in the evening and freshly baked scones jam and cream . Yum. So this afternoon out came the scales and the cook book with my favourite scone recipe, and strawberry jam.

Here's my scone recipe

• 200g/8oz self-raising flour
• 50g/2oz butter
• 23g/1oz sugar
• 1 egg
• pinch of salt
• milk 4 table spoons of milk.

Sift the flour into a bowl, add salt

Rug in butter to make bread crumbs

Add sugar, mix

Make a well in the mixture and add egg, and and milk.

Bring this together to form a dough.

Turn out onto a floured surface and gently knead until smooth..

Press out or roll out to about half inch thick.

Cut out as many scone rounds as you can get.

I can get up to 13 with small size cutter, but it depends on how big you like your scones.

Brush with a little milk.

Place on a baking tray and bake until golden, in my oven I bake at about 180c

Best eaten warm with butter jam and cream.

Hope you enjoy! here's one I ate earlier
