From the Princess' Pantry - Easy Scuffins

If you know anything about me, you will know that I do not cook. Or bake.

And suddenly out of the blue I recently got this urge to start cooking and baking... Not pre-prepared "Heat and Eats" but actual cooking from scratch.
 Keep your eyes to the sky people, there may be bucket loads of snow falling.

 To date, I have 5 actual recipes made from scratch:

  1.  Yoghurt Fridge Tart 
  2. Vodka Cream Pasta 
  3. Grilled hake 
  4. Easy roasted chicken pieces 
  5. Chicken Broth 
  6. Easy Scuffins 
I will share these recipes with you as I go along, because trust me; if I can make it, you can definitely make it! 


This recipe is the last 1 on my list, but it has to be the easiest recipe ever! 
I renamed it from Easy Biscuits to "Scuffins" because the end result is a combination of a scone crossed with a muffin. If you have a sweet tooth, I highly recommend serving with some preserves and cream or some honey as this recipe does not use any sugar and would most probably be suitable for most (I have a very sweet tooth) 
 As a savoury option I think it would be delicious with some freshly melted butter ( spread when hot) and some biltong flakes or else add some grated cheese and a touch of honey. 


Recipe is so quick and easy, don't blink, you might miss it!

Ingredients:
1 cup (250ml) self raising flour
1/2 cup (125ml) milk
2 tblsp (30ml) mayonnaise










Method: Heat oven to 220C (425F) Mix ingredients together and fill muffin pan halfway. (I literally mixed with a dessert spoon in a bowl)











Cook for 8-10 minutes or until a light golden brown.

I cooked for 8 minutes as I will be reheating them in the microwave when I take them to work for my colleagues and don't want them to dry out.

Makes about 7-8 Scuffins.

The inside is super light - not as dense a consistency as scones.



 Enjoy and send me suggestions as to how you served yours And there you have it!
