Jammers

Original recipe from "the Art & Soul of Baking" by Cindy Mushet.

I remembered the title and the author clearly as I was "house-keeping" my recipe and copying the recipe to my note book, there are plenty of good recipe that I would want to give a try! Buttermilk Raisin and Orange Scones was one of them.

I've made the 2nd batches as well for this jammers as this is quite simple and the outcome was simply nice :)

At my 1st attempt, I almost wanted to throw away the jammers after sitting in the oven for 2-3mins as the smell of flour was very strong (I added more flour as it was too sticky). But then I told myself to be patient and give "them" a chance.... and I was right! The nice aroma of the jammers coming out from the oven put a smile on me and my maid's face ^.^

Buttermilk Mix Fruits and Orange Scones

Well, 1st attempt and I like the smell and the texture and the taste... already made 2nd batches ^.^

The recipe calls for raisin but I only have mix fruits and it works well! Even if I've bought raisin now, I will stick to mix fruits =)

One thing I would like to highlight here is the use of orange zest gives the HIT of the scones and try not to opt-out this if you ever want to try.

I made this on Sunday and put them in the freezer. I will take few of them in the fridge before I go sleep so that in the morning, I can just take it out and bake in the oven ^.^

Almost forgot 1 more thing, I didn't pat my scones' dough into flat-round-disk and cut into wedges (stated in the recipe) as I found that it was a bit too big piece for breakfast. I actually take a small portion of the dough and roll to rectangular shape about 3"Lx2"Wx1/2"H.

Original recipe from a book I borrowed from Jurong Regional Library, will go back home and check out the name of the book and also write down the recipe =)
