These days I've had a "Scone" thing...here's what I adapted from another recipe if anyone wants to try.
Cranberry, Apple and Brie Scones
2 cups flour
¼ cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp each of nutmeg, ginger, ground cardamom
½ cup butter cold and diced into small squares
½ cup each of frozen cranberries, diced apple and oatmeal
1/3 cup diced (and then frozen) brie cheese (frozen brie is easier to work with)
1 cup buttermilk - or more if too dry
*Preheat oven to 400 degrees F/200 degrees C and place rack in middle of oven. Stack two baking sheets together and line the top baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the bottoms of the scones from over browning during baking.*
*In a large bowl, mix together dry ingredients. Add butter and blend into the flour mixture with a pastry blender or rub together using your hands. The mixture should look like coarse crumbs. Add the buttermilk to the flour mixture and stir just until the dough comes together.
*Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead dough until it forms together, then pat, or roll, the dough into a circle that is about 7in/18cm round and about 11/2 in/3.5cm thick. Cut this circle in half, then cut each half into 3 triangles. Place the scones on the baking sheet. Make an egg wash of one egg mixed with 1 TB buttermilk and brush the tops of the scones. Sprinkle tops of scones with a little sugar. Bake for about 15 -20 minutes and then turn pan and bake for another 10 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Makes 6 scones.
** You can also substitute some shredded old cheddar, instead of the brie.**

Me and ovens don't mix AT all (except when it comes to pizza). I'm surprised they don't spontaneously combust everytime I go them :S
Too funny! I was a professional baker for about 15 yrs (still in the bakery industry but for the last 10 yrs been selling equipment). There must be some connection between food and photography!
I'm with Marko on the rum and cokes, but I'm on the fence between rum and good ole Canadian Rye Whiskey.
Did someone mention Pizza?
It's a crappy blurred photo but the drizzle on top is made with roasted garlic and real grated Parmesan cheese mixed with a few other herbs and some salt and pepper into plain yogurt and left to sit overnight for the flavours to infuse. Then applied to the homemade pizza after baking. Yummm!
