Cheese and thyme scones

 

 

Ingredients

• oil, for greasing
• 225 g strong bread flour
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• pinch of sea salt
• 40 g butter, diced
• 125 g mature cheddar cheese
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp thyme (if you don't like thyme just leave it out)
• 1 tsp cayenne pepper
• 125-150ml milk
• butter, to serve

  Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/gas 6.
  
  2. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  
  3. Sift the flour, baking powder and sea salt into a bowl.
  
  4. Rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  
  5. Stir in two-thirds of the grated cheese, followed by the mustard, thyme and cayenne.
  
  6. Using a knife, gradually cut in enough of the milk to make a soft dough.
  
  7. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to a thickness of 1.5cm. Cut into circles with a pastry cutter or upturned glass.
  
  8. Place the circles on the greased baking sheet. Sprinkle them with the remaining cheese and bake for 12-15 minutes.
  
  9. Transfer to a wire cooling rack for 5 minutes, then eat hot with lashings of good country butter.
   

Stout and demerara glazed whole ham

 

  Amazing Stout and demerara glazed whole ham

Ingredients

• 1 whole leg of ham, on the bone rind on
• 2-3 B(optional)
• 8-10 whole peppercorns, (optional)
• 2 x 500 ml bottles stout
• 1 handfuls whole cloves
• 450 g demerara sugar

• Method

  1. Put the ham in a very large pan and cover with cold water. Add the bay leaves and peppercorns if using.
  
  2. Partially cover the pan and bring to a gentle simmer.
  
  3. Simmer for 3 hours until the ham is cooked - it should be tender when pierced with a knife. Remove the pan from the heat and leave the ham to cool in its cooking liquor.
  
  4. Preheat the oven to 230C/gas 8.
  
  5. When the water is cool enough to handle the ham, remove the ham from the pan and place in a large roasting tin.
  
  6. Using a sharp knife slice off the top layer of fat and rind if prefered- make sure you leave a good layer of fat, as this keeps it succulent and tasty.
  
  7. Stud the surface of the fat with cloves, keeping them quite close together - the more neatly these are arranged, the more attractive it will look. If you don't like cloves don't worry, just don't include them. I don't like them very much so i stud half of mine and leave half plain
  
  8. Pour over the stout, and then scatter the surface with sugar. Press the sugar down firmly to make as thick a crust as will stick to the ham and not fall off.
  
  9. Bake the ham in the oven until the sugar caramelises to a dark glaze. Baste the ham every 5-10 minutes with the hot liquor from the base of the pan, being careful not to wash off the sugar - if you do, simply patch it together again.
  
  10. To serve; enjoy this dish hot with parsley or mustard sauce and buttery baked potatoes, or cold with sharp mustard or chutney.  THIS RECIPE IS TRUELY AMAZING

Etsy Help Needed

Hi,

As you all know I opened my shop on Etsy, I really want to be able to offer my products worldwide.

I have checked out the postage/ shipping and its not as bad as i thought, so my products really can be worldwide.

I love all types of Craft and was wondering if any of you lovely visitors could give me some ideas of what i can make that would appeal to an American and Canadian audience.

Please get in touch if you have any ideas

Many thanks
