Gooseberry cake

I can’t remember where I got the recipe from, but here it is:

Dough
2 eggs
100g sugar
100g flour
100g butter

-grease the tin
-cover the bottom with brown sugar (the more the better… haha)
-put the gooseberries on top (I halfed them and put them on the layer of sugar face down)
-cover with the dough
-30 min, 180 C (or a bit less … mine turned out a bit too dry)
-turn around to serve (clotted cream goes with it really well. … ok, clotted cream goes with everything…)
enjoy :)

Scones

Scones, or scoooones … (and I still pronounce it the posh way! It’s just the intuitive way!)
Anyways, I found this recipe here a while ago.

(The recipe is:
Ingredients:
8 ounces by weight all-purpose flour (about 1 3/4 cups)
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 cup white sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup dried currants
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup sour cream
(and 1 egg plus 1 tablespoon milk for the wash)
The trick is to use hard butter and not to mix everything together to a smooth dough, but to leave it clumpy.)

I just adjusted the recipe a bit:
Instead of the 1/2 cup milk and 1/4 cup sour cream, use 1 cup (greek style) yogurt.
Also, fresh fruits are very delicious in scones… (It’s probably not a scone anymore…)
Enjoy! (And check out the foodwishes website! A brilliant blog…)
