Mary Barry’s Devonshire Scones Recipe

|

Why Devonshire? The name comes from the county of Devonshire, in the south-west of England. These places are famous for their beautiful landscapes, seaside resorts and traditional tea drinking. Tea is served here with skins, strawberry jam and melted thick cream. By the way, the British are divided into those who first spread jam on the scones, and then put cream on those who do exactly the opposite: first cream, then jam. And I found the recipe for these scones from the British culinary writer and TV presenter Mary Barry.

Portuguese Cakes “Pate de Nata” Recipe

“Pasteis de nata” cakes with custard. These cakes are called “Pate de Belem”, all other “fakes” are simply called “Pate de nata”. Today I have chosen from all possible options a “fake” recipe with the “least” amount of sugar and will use milk instead of cream. Careful, it’s sweet! But very tasty! The Portuguese love sweets!

Mini Chebureks with Squid Recipe

|

I want to share a recipe for juicy, crispy and very tasty mini chebureks with squid filling. Squid meat does not have a fishy smell, and minced meat from it turns out tender and juicy. My dough is without eggs, it is very elastic, it is perfectly molded, but it does not stick to my hands. Thanks to all these features, it turns out an unusually juicy filling and cheburek, which does not flow and even when cooled remains crispy.

Scottish Multi-Grain Bread “Struan” Recipe

|

This bread in Scotland used to be baked on the eve of the feast of St. Michael, on September 29, when all the grain was removed. Bread was traditionally baked by the eldest daughter in the family from the grains of the fresh harvest. A mixture of different grains was used for “Struan”: rye, oats, barley, wheat. The grains were pre-ground and soaked in water or milk. Then they baked bread, and in the morning they carried it to the church to receive the blessing of the priest, who asked St. Michael for a plentiful harvest.
