Hi Lena, I love that fish best. Its so beautiful. First time I see it too. And I bet everyone will be reluctant to cut it up to eat, ha ha.
ReplyDeleteYou are a Master-chef.....bar none!
Love your buns too. Love the texture and colour.
Lena, I am giving you a world famous scones, Singapore Raffles hotel's famous scones.
This has been eaten by famous writers, Hollywood actors, Presidents and prime ministers....And yours truly too.
And everyone loves it. Goes well with tea, preferably Earl Grey's.
Maybe you like to try it....
Singapore Raffles hotel Tropical Scones. 65 g : Sugar
65 g : Butter
1 - : Eggs
450 g : Flour
30 g : Baking powder
250 ml : Milk
65 g : Raisins
1 - : Eggs
salt, pepper to taste
Pre heat the oven to 200c.
Combine the butter and sugar in a cake mixer.
Mix until fluffy and creamy, then add the egg.
Add the flour and baking powder and mix until a crumble forms.
Pour in the milk and mix to a smooth texture. Do not overwork as the mixture will toughen.
Add the raisins. Lightly flour a smooth surface and roll out the dough to about 3cm thick.
Use the cookie cutter to cut out individual pieces. Glaze with the egg mixture.
Place the scones on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven, allow to cool and serve, ideally, with kaya, jam, clotted cream, farm-fresh butter and a hot pot of tea.
Send me telegram if you do try it.
Have a nice day.
Lee.
