No Bread, Overnight Food & Cheating Death

What do you do when you realise there is No Bread and you really do not feel like going to the shops this time of the day. Easy. Whip up quick and easy scones in fifteen minutes even a six year old can do. Not the "proper" English scones, they take to long to make but still delectable and tasty.

These "Drop Scones" as they are known comes from a recipe found in traditional South African kitchens from way back when.

Ingredients

500 ml Cake Flower
20 ml Baking Powder
2 ml Salt
100 ml Sunflower Oil
125 ml Milk
1 Medium Size Egg

Sift together the flower, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl mix together the Oil, Milk and Egg. Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and add the liquid mixture. Fold together with a metal spoon until just combined. Drop tablespoon size of the mixture onto a greased baking plate and bake in a preheated oven at 240 Degrees Celsius for 10 - 12 minutes until golden brown. Voila.

Enjoy with any topping of your choice. They go well with sweet and savoury toppings and if you make them a little smaller is a perfect snack for any party. Enjoy.

PS. I like to add finely grated cheddar cheese to the dry ingredients for an extra little kick.

I have always made lunch for Zelma and one interesting observation she made at work is that Singaporeans do not take lunch to work. I guess with all the food outlets and the hawker food being so cheap it really does not make sense. They find it strange that Zelma brings food from home and call it, Overnight Food. Huh?

A 22 year old Australian woman did a bungee jump at the Victoria Falls Bridge and survived in the crocodile invested river after the bungee cord snapped. Lucky lady.
