Savory Scones
2 3/4 cup All-purpose flour
4 tsp Baking powder
3/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Baking soda
1/2 cup Unsalted butter cut into
16 pieces
1 cup Buttermilk
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 2. Combine flour, baking powder, salt
and baking soda in food processor. Pulse once or twice to combine.
Add butter. Pulse 10 to 12 times or until mixture resembles fresh
bread crumbs. (You can use pastry blender to cut butter into flour if
you don't have a food processor.) 3. Transfer mixture to large bowl.
Add 1 cup buttermilk, stirring quickly to combine. If mixture is too
dry, add more buttermilk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough holds
together and is slightly stringy and crumbly. Turn out onto lightly
floured surface. Knead 6 to 7 times (do not knead more than that or
scones will become tough). 4. Divide dough in half. With floured
hands, press each half into 9x4-inch rectangle. With short side
facing you, fold into thirds like a business letter. Press each
portion into 6 to 7-inch circle; place on ungreased baking sheet. Cut
each circle into 6 equal wedges; pull wedges slightly apart. Brush
tops with remaining buttermilk. Let stand 10 minutes. 5. Bake in 400
degree oven for 20 minutes, or until tops are lightly browned. Remove
and serve warm.
Ham and Sage Scones: Add 4 ounces cubed boiled ham and 1 teaspoon
dried sage with butter. Pulse 10 to 12 times until ham pieces are no
larger than grains of rice. Instead of pressing dough into circles,
press each half into 7 1/2-inch square. Cut each into 8 squares.
Cheddar Cheese Scones: Add 4 ounces cubed Cheddar and 1/4 to 1/2
teaspoon cayenne pepper along with butter. Process 10 to 12 times
until cheese pieces are no larger than dried peas. After brushing
tops with buttermilk, sprinkle with sesame seeds, using about 2
teaspoons total.
Rosemary and Black Olive Scones: After dividing dough in half,
scatter 1/2 teaspoon crumbled dried rosemary and 1/4 cup chopped
kalamata olives (about 10 olives) over each batch of dough before it
is folded into thirds. |

Advice on losing weight
If you enjoy your food, but need to get thinner and also improve your all round healthiness, among other things you should eat a specially designed sensible weight loss regime. Ideally, this should involve five measures of fruit & vegetables on a daily basis and include a sensible mix of carbohydrate, fat, and protein.
When starting a weight loss program, dieters usually fix on chain store and branded food items referred to as 'low-fat'. This is most certainly a miscalculation, seeing as how a food might just be lowered in fat, but whilst still being elavated in calories.
When planning a weight loss program, the most important step is to also endeavour to regulate your consumption of salt, fats and refined carbohydrates.
