Day 21: Chestnut Vanilla Latte
With all the fuss about hazelnut lattes (which are good mind you) why not try a chestnut latte? This was a bit of an experiment on my part and it turned out okay. But as with most experiments, you learn how to do it a little better next time.
For this…

These scones were such a big hit, that I still can’t even believe it. They were moist, not crumbly at all, perfectly sized, not overly sweet and the lavender was a perfect match with the blueberries.
- 2 1/4 cups Plain Flour
- 75g Unsalted Butter (cold)
- 1/2 cup Castor Sugar
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 90g Cream Cheese Softned
- 1/3 Cup Milk (plus 2 tbsp extra)
- 1 Egg
- 1/2 cup Frozen Fresh Blueberries (or dried)
The thing that makes me cry most about scones are people who over knead the dough. DO NOT OVER KNEAD THE DOUGH. Doing so will ensure that your scones will end up dry, and no one will like them!
First begin by taking your dry ingredients and whisk them together in a large bowl. At this point, some people will advise for you to grate frozen butter into the dry mixture, but I prefer using my hands. Cut the butter into tiny blocks and add them into the dry mixture. It’s important that they’re at a solid phase when this occurs. Using your finger tips, rub the butter until the entire mixture begins to look like a crumble mixture. If you don’t have plain flour, all-purpose will work, put add in 1/2 tsp less of baking powder. Using a rubber spatula, gently stir your cream cheese, milk and eggs together until it’s smooth. Try not to add in air into the mixture.
Create a well in your dry mixture and add in the wet mixture all at once following by the blueberries. Using your hands, begin mixing the mixture. It is important to note that you do not want to overwork the dough, or knead it at all. More kneading will result in a tougher, and dryer scone. Once when the wet mixture has dissolved into the dry mixture and it’s starting to clump together, dump the dough on a floured surface. At this point, if the mixture feels dry to you (you can tell when you feel the dough) gradually add in the extra 2 tbsp of milk.
Pat the dough. That’s right… pat it. Don’t knead the dough, just pat it together into a 1 inch square or rectangle. You want to work the dough as little as possible. Gently pat the dough into the shape that you want. If you do have a scone cutter, don’t use it. The reason so is that once when you cut the dough you have to knead it back together to cut it again. If you do this.. your first batch of scones will be perfect while your second, third and fourth patch of scones won’t. An easy, simple and effective way that I’ve found is to just cut the dough right there into squares. Yes, they don’t look like ordinary scones, but they’re better than ordinary scones.
Bake at a preheated oven of 200’C for 20 minute or until they have a golden color on them.
- 1 tbsp Dried Lavender Buds
- 1/2 cup Milk
- 1 cup Icing Sugar
Add the lavender buds into the milk and heat it until it begins to boil. Add the icing sugar into a large boil and add in the lavender-milk mixture a tbsp at a time until you get the consistency that you want. Once the glaze is to your liking, pour it over the scones and garnish with some lavender.
