A Scone for one

A SCONE FOR ONE RECIPE

• 1/3 cup flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 Tbsp sugar
• 1 Tbsp cold butter, cut into small cubes
• 2 1/2 Tbsp milk (I used nonfat)
• 2 Tbsp mix-in of choice (this particular scone is cranberry walnut!)

Preheat oven to 450.  It’s good to note that I have a small food processor (I think a 1-cup capacity?) which worked perfectly for this, but you can certainly use your fingers to break up the butter into the flour. 

In a food processor combine the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.  Pulse the butter into the dry ingredients until it breaks up and resembles crumbs.  Next add in the mix-ins and milk and pulse until the dough pulls away from the side of the mixer, which should only take a moment.  Carefully pull the dough away from the blade and shape into a circle, patting it to about 1/2 inch in thickness.  Bake at 450 on a Silpat or a piece of parchment paper for 8-10 minutes until golden brown.  Let cool slightly before digging in!

Beef Bulgogi

Ingredients

1 ½ pounds boneless rib eye steak

½ small pear, peeled and coarsely grated

¼ cup reduced sodium soy sauce

2 tablespoons brown sugar

2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger

1 tablespoon gochujang, Korean red pepper paste

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided

2 green onions, thinly sliced

1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

instructions

• Wrap steak in plastic wrap, and place in the freezer for 30 minutes. Unwrap and slice across the grain into 1/4-inch thick slices.
• In a medium bowl, combine pear, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger and gochujang. In a gallon size Ziploc bag, combine soy sauce mixture and steak; marinate for at least 2 hours to overnight, turning the bag occasionally.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a cast iron grill pan over medium-high heat.* Working in batches, add steak to the grill pan in a single layer and cook, flipping once, until charred and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and steak.
• Serve immediately, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

*Lambert Tip 

We use four pounds of meat and triple the recipe.  For the tripled recipe, instead of a pear, I use 1/2 of cup of Coke and 1 more tablespoon of brown sugar
