Quote:Think you can't mess up an apple pie? My mother made hers sans sugar!
Sugar?
My Canadian-born mother taught me. No added sugar except if I make shortcrust pastry. I use fresh slices apples,plus ground cloves. Served with ice cream or egg custard.
I remember how shocked I wast discover how much sugar Americans use in a lot of their food,including the bread, which is too sweet for me.
Jew pancakes? Potato pancakes? I think usually served with apple sauce and sour cream.I like just salt.--an easy recipe to fuck up..I make Polish style,also love pirogi.
Scones are idiot simple,yet my mum simply can't make them.(Americans call them biscuits I think) I make beaut scones.It annoys mum.

Quote:The scone is a small British quick bread (or cake if recipe includes sugar) of Scottish origin. Scones are especially popular in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland, but are eaten in many other countries. They are usually made of wheat, barley or oatmeal, with baking powder as a leavening agent. The scone is a basic component of the cream tea or Devonshire tea.
