Welsh Scones Recipe

...brought to you by Recipes EU





Welsh Scones
4 tbsp Butter
1 3/4 cup All-purpose flour
1/4 tsp Salt
5 1/2 tbsp Sugar
1 tsp Baking soda
2 tsp Cream of tartar
2 Eggs
1/3 cup Milk


Using a pastry blender cut the butter into the flour and salt. Mix
until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.
Add the sugar, baking soda and cream of tartar. Mix well.
Beat the eggs with the milk and add to the flour, using a wooden spoon,

to make a spongy mixture. Place the dough on a well-floured plastic
countertop or board and pat it out to 1/2-inch thickness.
Cut dough into rounds with a biscuit cutter. Flour your hands and
place rounds on a non-stick cookie sheet and leave for 10 minutes to
settle.
Bake in a preheated oven at 450 degrees for 8 minutes.
These should be served with butter and/or jam, or with cream and jam
for special occasions. Makes 12 scones, depending on size of cutter.

Comments: I learned this recipe from Kitty Jenkins, who came to America

from Wales and settle in Pensylvania. It will convince you that a good
rich Welsh scone is not to be confused with the mild biscuits made in this

country.

Diet hints and tips

If your aim is to become thin and also boost your overall healthfulness, then, as any doctor will tell you, you should undertake a thoughtfully designed healthy daily routine. In a perfect world, this needs to contain 5 standard portions of fruit & veg per day and involve the right combination of fat, carbohydrates and protein.

In deciding on a weight loss program, it is important to also make efforts to regulate your intake of salt, fats and refined carbohydrates.

When starting a weight loss program, people often direct your attention to food store and big brand food items referred to as 'low in fat'. This is frequently incorrect, seeing that a food item can be significantly reduced in fat, but nevertheless elavated in carbs.

Try drinking more water. Every now and then during a busy day, you have an idea that you feel hunger but actually you might need a cool drink of water or cranberry juice. The feelings of needing food and needing a drink are close, but one of the two results in bad health and the alternative leads to no harm.

Instead of thinking about which types of food you ought to ban from your diet, look at the healthy foods which you might want to introduce to your daily routine. If you inject the recommended portions wholesome grains, cereals and vegetables into your diet, you'll discover that you feel full and have a much lower likelihood of being tempted by those unwholesome mid-afternoon nibbles.
