Throughout the Covid era, the Royal Family shared recipes made by their Royal Pastry Chefs. One of those recipes was the Queen’s fruit scones, which traditionally would be served at Buckingham Palace every summer. Posted on the Royal Family Instagram page, it read: “Every year at Garden Parties across The Royal Residences, over 27,000 cups of tea, 20,000 sandwiches and 20,000 slices of cake are consumed! The Royal Pastry Chefs are happy to share their recipe for fruit scones.” The Queen’s fruit scone recipe 500g plain flour 28g baking powder 94g butter 86g sugar 2 whole eggs 140ml buttermilk 100g sultanas (cover in hot water and leave to soak for 30 minutes) 1 Preheat oven to 180C. 2 Mix the flour, baking powder, butter and sugar together in a bowl until a crumb is formed. 3 In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and buttermilk together. 4 Add the liquid to the crumb mixture. 5 Continue to mix the dough until it is smooth. 6 Add the sultanas and mix until evenly distributed (optional). 7 Remove the dough from the bowl, flatten the dough and cover. 8 Leave to rest for approximately 30 minutes. 9 Roll out the dough to a thickness of 2.5 cm and cut to desired shape. 10 Rest the scones for another 20 minutes. 11 Gently egg wash the top of the scones. 12 Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. 13 Cool before serving with jam and clotted cream. What the recipe fails to tell us though, is what goes first? Jam or cream? The great scone debate We’ve previously talked about the long-running (and often heated) debate and asked our official English foodie in the office, Matt Preston, to weigh in. “It’s always jam first in Australia given the lower butterfat content (and the resulting increased instability) of the cream used here compared to the denser clotted cream traditionally used in Devon and Cornwall,” he said. But what about Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II? Well, according to Darren McGrady, a former chef who worked for the Royal Family for over 10 years, the Queen prefers jam first. He tweeted: “The Queen always had home-made Balmoral jam first with clotted cream on top at Buckingham Palace garden parties in the royal tea tent and all royal tea parties.” Tea, anyone?

Kouign-Amann, small ones Kouign-Amann, interior Crunchy, chewy, and caramelized sugary exterior. Buttery, soft, and tender interior. The flavor is that of a very sugary croissant. Just the scent in my house is fattening. These are goooooood. Yesterday, I watched a DVR recording of one of my very favorite Food Network shows, The Best Thing I Ever Ate. The Neelys selected this Kouign-Amann (pronounced queen ahmahn) that looked like a sugary, buttery, round croissant kind of thing. "I've made croissants," I thought to myself. "These look easy. I just need some of those ring mould thingies." Well, those ring mould thingies are expensive, so I started checking out some more google images of Kouign-Amann. There are some that look like they're baked in those rings; some seem to have been baked in muffin tins; some are almost flat; and many are large and baked in a 10-inch spring form pan. So I decided that I had some leeway, and decided to bake them as if I were putting them into a ring mould, folding them up into the middle, but not putting them in the mould. I tried using a toothpick to secure the four corners folded into the middle, and it sort of worked, for some of them. Next time, I think I'll probably just make these small because the small ones seemed to hold their shapes better than the large. Plus, one large one just seems so, so...well, large. I can see, though, why the Neelys love these so much. Very decadent. Very satisfying. Kouign-Amann --adapted from marthastewart.com Ingredients: 1 3/4 cups room temperature water 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt 1 pound (4 sticks) plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled 5 cups King Arthur Unbleached All Purpose Flour 1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) instant yeast 3 cups white sugar, plus more for dusting Instructions: 1. In a liquid measuring cup, measure water and then add sea salt. Let stand until sea salt has dissolved completely. Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small bowl in a microwave oven, or over low heat in a small pan. 2. In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a dough hook, mix the flour and the instant yeast. With the mixer on low speed, mix in the melted butter. Add the water/salt mixture, and continue to mix until combined into a ball of dough, about 3 minutes. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow dough to rise about one hour, or until doubled. 3. After it has doubled, punch the dough down, wrap in plastic, and place on a baking sheet (not a large plate--a baking sheet). Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours. 4. While the dough chills, unwrap the four sticks of butter and place side by side in a gallon size zip-top bag. Leave bag unzipped and start pounding the butter with a heavy rolling pin. Pound and roll until you have a squarish shaped slab of butter that is a little over 1/4 inch thick. Return to the refrigerator to chill for about 30 minutes. 5. Remove chilled dough from the refrigerator and unwrap onto a floured surface. Roll dough out to an 18-inch square. Cut the butter square out of the bag and place in the middle of the dough square so that each side of the butter square faces a corner of the dough square. Fold the corners of the dough over the butter to enclose. The original recipe says to pinch dough seams to seal, but I had so much overlap, that was unnecessary. 6. Roll dough into a 24 x 8 inch rectangle, making sure to flour the rolling pin and rolling surface as needed to prevent sticking. Brush excess flour with a pastry brush and then fold rectangle into thirds. Wrap the dough in plastic and place back on the baking sheet. Chill for 20 minutes. This completes the first turn. 7. Roll dough out again to a 24 x 8 inch rectangle and fold into thirds (second turn). Wrap and return dough to refrigerator again for 10-20 minutes. Dust the rolling surface with sugar, and then pour about 1 cup of sugar over the dough and roll out again to a 24 x 8 inch rectangle and fold into thirds (third turn). Wrap and return dough to refrigerator again for 10-20 minutes. Repeat last rolling out/turn with another 1 1/2 cups sugar (fourth turn). Wrap dough and leave in the refrigerator overnight. 8. In the morning, preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line 2 or 3 large baking sheets with parchment paper. On a lightly sugared surface, roll the dough into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle (about 16 x 25 inches). Cut into 15 squares (or 30, if you want small ones). Fold up corners of one square toward the center and press to seal corners in the middle, or use a toothpick to keep it (sort of) in place. Place on parchment lined baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Repeat with remaining squares. 9. Lightly cover pans with plastic wrap and allow to rise in a warm place until puffed, 30-40 minutes. Bake at 425 degrees until golden brown, 35-40 minutes (15-18 minutes for small ones). If you used toothpicks, remove immediately. Move from pans onto wire racks to cool completely. Makes 15 large pastries and I don't know how many small ones (sorry) Toothpicks helped keep the small ones intact. Large ones just opened up, but were still super delicious.

These classic British cakes or buns, have appeared in numerous old cookbooks and even on the popular television series "Larkrise to Candleford", as well as in the book of the same name; they are the original "cup cake" and hide a guilty secret, as there is a goodly slug of brandy in them, which adds to their culinary charms! The addition of ground rice is optional, but I remember my grandmother adding ground rice to cakes, for a delicious added texture.

Kouign Amann (pronounced Queen Aman) is what would happen if a croissant went on a sugar bender. It’s flaky and buttery like a croissant, but crusty and rich with caramelized – even burnt – sugar. It’s wonderful. And when something is perfect as it is, I would usually say leave it be, however, this is …
