Strawberry Cream Scones
Butter and flour crumbled until sandy. Strawberries chopped, folded in with rich cream. Dough sticky at first, then flour added for gentle kneading. Rolled to one inch thick, cut and arranged on oiled sheet. Oil brushed tops, sugar sprinkled for crust. Baked at slightly lower heat to avoid scorch; watch golden tops as cue. Strawberries add moisture, swap cream with half-n-half, butter with margarine if needed. Timing measured more by look and feel than clock. No overworking or dry mess. Quick sweet biscuits, fruity, tender; serve with jam or butter.
Hummingbird Cake Twist
Moist layered cake with banana and pineapple, but swapped in grated carrot and mango for sweetness and texture. Brown sugar replaced half regular white sugar for depth. Classic warm spices plus cardamom, adding a slight exotic feel. Cream cheese frosting with a dash of lime zest to cut through richness. Cake dense but not heavy, crumb tender, aroma rich and inviting. Bakes until golden, edges pulling slightly from sides in pan. A southern-inspired cake that plays with tradition.
