I can take for granted that fine really process flour and not think about the growing process and the milling process before it becomes a scone that I want to devour.
Fresh milled flour is like two totally different beasts. So good! I have been seeing a lot of things lately that the whole gluten free thing is really the chemicals they’re putting on the wheat is the thing people are reacting to.
talk about gluten might be chemicals
some people talk about
if your
they were eating potatoes and not wheat
We inherit the gut flora from our maternal so it also depends on how we can actually digest our food I agree with you it’s not just “oh flour is bad!”

She often uses dried cherries
wonderful
people from her work would crave her scones. It was a sweet practice to go back to this old recipe
I don’t think there’s any substitute for home cooking.
When you were first saying you lived on scones and chai, I was thinking you were gonna know some secrets because I think of scones as being somewhat complicated this is pretty basic right?
your starting with milk
butter gets put into the scones in chunks
break it into small pieces
don’t want it melted
mix in any dried fruit
that process takes like 15 minutes
preheating oven
they only bake for like 15-20 minutes
baked in my mind everything is always 350º
I love scones I haven’t made them in a long time!
Before I put them in the oven I cut into triangles
If you’re cutting them you mix it up in a dough?
I don’t have a roller, I’m kind of a will cook with anything
I’ll make it work
There is so much butter in the scone you don’t have to butter.
This sounds so good, and I love the jam that is going to go with them! It almost sounds like a marmelade, Montana style and local stuff!
totally Montana style DIY
I used berries from around here
yeah!
I like having local honey.
Get your scone and get to eat it too!
even though it might be the season
bitter greens
maybe have a cleanse at some point
I like to think of things as a counter balance
bitter tea
jam on there
providing myself a way to digest well and feel good and still get the nourishing things I love!
