Scones saves the breakfast yet again

This time I used a combination of flour-
2 dl plain wheat flour and 3 dl sunflower-bread mix

Basic Recipe:

• 5 dl Flour
• 2,5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 50 g-75 g Margarine
• 2 dl Milk
  

Mix all of the dry ingredients, add the margarine and blend well. Stir in the milk until the mix becomes a homogenous mass. Bake in a preheated oven (225 C) until the scones become golden.

Serve with tea, honey, an assortment of your favorite jams (St. Dalfour is a recommendation- their products does not contain any added sugars, only fruit), some cheese, and good friends!

St. Dalfour marmelads are made by gently cooking fruits according to the tradition of the French countryside- naturally yummy!

New school year, new (food) challenges!

Gotta love pancakes! Enjoy them with a savoury filling (ham and cheese, sour cream and onions, chantellers or mushrooms..) or as traditional sweet pancakes.

Here is a list of my *must haves* when it comes to sweet toppings;

• Eurokrem (or nutella) with crushed walnuts or hazelnuts
• Eurocrem (or nutella) with coconut flakes (a lethal sweet combination)
  
• Apricot jam with plazma crumbles (or any wheat cookie of your preference)
• Cherry marmelade
• Strawberry jam with plazma crumbles
• Plain white sugar
• Caramelized bananas
  

Crispy american mini pancakes with coconut flakes and sliced bananas!

Gotta love those berries!

When in doubt.. make a spongecake!

This golden, flavour rich cake is all you really need if you're having people over or if you're in the mood for something sweet!

Whip up a couple of eggs, add some sugar (ca. 1 dl per egg, or less depending on your preferences). Make sure that you taste the batter before adding the dry ingredients!

Dry ingredients: flour (plain, soy, rice corn or a mix of the above), baking soda (or powder), vanilla sugar. Mix the dry ingredients in a seperate bowl, then fold in into the egg/ sugar mix- (do not use a electric mixer! gently folding will make the cake airy and light and will help the baking powder to work its magic).

Pour the batter in a cake-tin of your choice (I used a small one because I wanted my cake to be 'high'). Add some berries of your choice, place it in a preheated oven (200 c) and bake until golden!

Flour and eggs...

...make a wonderfully crisp breakfast! I am very fond of a recipe called "eggs and flour" (something of a cross between a pancake and an omelet), which tend to I spice up with some vanilla sugar in the batter. Just add some icing sugar and blackberries to sweeten the pancakes when they are done, and you are all set for a yummy breakfast!

gotta love those blackberries..!

Beautiful, Golden, Cupcaked Scones

My latest creation turned out to be very, very tasty and absolutely perfect for breakfast!



'How to':
Whip up a traditional batter for scones (or a non-traditional, consisting of added spices and a mix of flour-types; rice flour, corn flour, oat, etc...) Divide the batter into cupcake molds and bake in a preheated oven until the 'cakes' get golden and lovely.






Served with lemon, cinnamon & honey infused hot water.

Golden Breakfast

It's funny how I always have a great big smile whenever I open this blog...

One thing that I'm meticuluos about when it comes to meals, is breakfast. I never leave home in the morning without having had something good to eat, and for me, that is the key to feeling on top throughout the day.



Luckily, today was 'late lecture' day: which means more time in the kitchen making breakfast!






Vanilla blinies (small pancakes) with apple caramell compote, njam! (Recipe will be posted a little later...) In the mean time, don't forget to treat yourself to a nice breakfast!








Now, here's what I did to make the blinies (recipe for 3-4 cakes):
Mix 2 eggs with 2 tablespoons of oat meal, 2 tablespoons of wheat flour, ca. 1 dl corn flour and blend well. Add vanilla sugar, salt and flax seed (linfrön) to your liking. Heat up 1 tablespoon of oil and pour it into the batter. Fry the blinis in a non-stick pan and continue with the caramel- compot.

Apple caramel-compot: Melt 1-2 tablespoons of butter in the same pan as you just fried your binies in. Add about 1/2 of an thinly sliced apple. Let the apple slices soften, then add milk and sugar. Let the caramel reduce to wanted texture (should look somewhat similar to a dulce de leche). Pour the caramelized apples on top of the blinies and enjoy!
