Scones with various fillings



Scones with various fillings


Ingredients:
2 1/2 dl wheat flour
2 tsp baking soda
50 grams grated cheese
50 gr  butter
1 dl milk


Fillings:
For fillings you can do anything you like really. This time I used vegetables and berries. But you could do bacon and cheese. Cutting the bacon to small pieces and frying, shredding the cheese. 

Blueberries, Strawberries, Vegetables like green, red, yellow peppers, herbs like cilantro 

Directions:
Set the oven to 225 Celsius degrees.

Mix flour and baking soda, and mince the butter in it. Mix and stir in the milk while working the dough.

Stir until everything has mixed, stir in the fillings last.


I made a few with blueberries, a few with strawberries, a few with vegetables.

Then put the dough into muffin cups (please put the muffin cups in a muffin iron to prevent the scones from flowing.)

Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until the scones have become golden brown. Serve immediately with butter, cheese and some marmalade.

One batch makes about 6 big muffins

Cinnamon rolls




Cinnamon rolls

Ingredients:
50 g yeast
5 dl milk
150 g butter
1 1/2 dl sugar
1 tsp salt
2 tsp grinded cardamom
15-16 dl wheat flour


Filling:
200 g butter
1 1/4 dl sugar
1 dl of brown sugar
2 tbs cinnamon

Brushing:
eggs, pearl sugar



Directions:
Mince yeast in a bowl. Heat the milk to 37 degrees Celsius and pour over the yeast. Stir until dissolved.




Add butter and let it melt. In a bowl add the milk and butter, add, sugar, salt, cardamom and most of the flour. Work the dough well. With machine 10 minutes or 15 minutes by hand. Cover the bowl with dough with plastic wrap. Let the dough rest to rise for 30 minutes.

Make the filling: stir together butter, sugar, brown sugar and cinnamon. Bring the dough on floured  baking table and divide into two pieces.


Work the risen dough on the baking table and divide into four pieces. Roll each piece into a rectangle. To make the filling, spread the butter over the dough and sprinkle the entire surface with sugar, brown sugar and cinnamon.



Roll the dough into a cylinder shape, starting with the bottom edge, and then cut into 10-12 slices.

Place the slices onto a greased baking tray or do like me, place them in cupcake cups on the tray and let rise for another 30 minutes.



Brush with eggwash and sprinkle with pearl sugar and bake in the middle of the oven for 225 Celsius degrees, 10 minutes.


(about 45-50 pieces depending what size you like)

Overnight Oats


Overnight Oats!

The last week I tried a new type of breakfast, an idea from my daughter Frida from the USA. Overnight Oats! Yes, that is right, these are not desserts, but breakfast made from Oatmeal! It is so quick, healthy and easy. I just prepare the base the night before and put the topping on in the morning. It is like porridge from oatmeal but without cooking. You can use any yogurt, milk, oatmilk, "sourmilk" like the norwegian/swedish kulturmjölk/kefir in the base. The consistency will vary in creaminess. Just test what is to your liking. 



Directions: 
Mix the ingredients for the base in a container or jar and place in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning add the topping and eat. You can let the imagination run loose when it comes to taste in the base or for toppings. You don´t need a topping like I have here. My daughter who is an athlete use to mix protein powder in.
