Scones

Oooh lal la. These scones are very tasty and also very easy to make

Okay, lets do it.

What you need:

• 2 cups of cake flour
• 75 ml brown sugar
• 20 ml baking powder
• 100g maragarine/butter
• 1 egg
• 180 ml milk
• Pinch of salt

How to do it:

• Sift all the ingredients together and add 100g of butter/margarine. 
• Use your finger to mix this finely until the mixture is like breadcrumbs.
• In a small jug, add an egg and the fresh milk. Whip it.
• Now mix all the ingredients, and be careful to not overmix
• Sprinkle some cake flour and use your hands to make a dough. If it is sticky, use more cake flour. The dough must be soft.
• Cut the dough with a scone cutter
• Preheat the oven at 190 degrees and bake for about 10 to 12 minutes (until the scones are golden)

These scones are then ready for your tea

Good luck and God bless

Easy potato salad(chat joldi aalu)

What you need:

• 1/2 kg potato washed, boiled and skinned 
• 1 carrot, grated 
• 1 big onion, thinly chopped
• 1 big tomato.  

How to do it:

Heat a frying pan at medium temperature and add 1 tbsp of cooking oil (you can use butter as well). When the oil is hot, reduce the temperature and add the onions. Fry it until it is a nice golden colour and it smells ice. Add the tomato and carrot after the colour of the onions change (the colour is like saffron). Thoroughly mix now. Then add the boiled, but slightly mashed potatoes. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper. Garnish with a handful of fresh corriander leaves. If you like, you can also add 1/2 cup of green peas.

This works nicely with roast chicken

Enjoy and God bless
