Today a co-worker of mine was kind enough to give me a recipe he cajoled out of a popular restaurant. There is a place you can go in my neck of the woods where the food is slightly better than alright, overall (smallish steak, stay the hell away from the chicken), but what everyone goes there for is the scones.
The honeybutter and scones. OH THE HONEY BUTTER AND SCONES!!! It deserves the all caps. If it was up to my wife, I'm pretty sure that if it was between me and the scones - my son would be calling the scones 'Papa' and asking them why I send them money every month. And who my blonde friend is.
Not that I would blame her. Every time I take a bite, I worry that weird looking babies with stork wings might descend out of the ceiling and fill my arse with arrows. Properly accompanied with harp music.
I am very grateful for the recipe, (sers, j thank you) but it was a little confusing.
The first paragraph reads "Sourdough Starter: 1 1/2 cups and 1 tTSB all purpose flour - 1 cup tepid water - 1 tsb yeast."
What the hell does "1 1/2 cups and 1 tTSB all purpose flour" really mean? There is no reference to the order in the next paragraph. Sers - What the really, hecking, heck does that additional "1TSB" refer to?
Do you put the "TSB" in first? (by the way that should read TBSP) Or the yeast??? Or the two and a half frikkkkkin cups of all purpose flour. ..?
I dunno. Sooo, like every IT dork, or any doctor that you REALLY count on (C that would be the guy with the 'DitchWitch' in your ribcage) I promptly Googled it...
The most aggravatingly and thorough reference to "sourdough starters" that I could find was this one, and he's... a little... intense.
Here is the link...
Full disclosure: it's like listening to Trekkers blathering on how the Vulcans really COULD take the Romulans in a fair fight.
