There are always loads of recipes I'd like to try but lose them before I do. This is where I can record recipes I find interesting and keep notes on my experiments with them.

I have a system that I've adopted for working through recipes:

1 - New recipes are saved to the Experimental Mouffette and is labeled : Untested
2 - As I'm working out the changes I'd like to make (if any) it is labeled : Testing
3 - Once I think I've got the correct formula it is labeled : Test 1
4 - IF I am able to reproduce the effect a second time it is labeled : Test 2 - if I am not able to reproduce the effect, it remains Test 1
5 - The same process as step 4 is used to graduate it to Test 3
6 - Once I have been able to reproduce the effect successfully 3 times, it graduates to my main blog, La Mouffette Gourmande

Biscuits (Scones) - Testing

https://www.lovefood.com/recipes/59721/scone-recipe

1 - I finally get to start testing this recipe without the flour I f*cked up at work. I've increased the buttermilk, I suspect I may have to again. At least this time I've added the grams. I've also increased the temperature to 425. Oh, I forgot to brush the top with egg or milk! Next time!

525g flour
12g Baking Powder
3/4 tsp (6g) baking soda
1½ tsp (12g) salt
21g (3½ tsp) sugar 
½ cup (4oz/114gr) butter
Any Optional Ingredient (herbs, cheese, olives, meat bits, etc)
1⅓ 1/4 cup (345g) buttermilk
  1. Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl.
  2. Throw the flour and the butter in a food processor and process until it becomes like coarse sand.
  3. Add any Optional Ingredient or leave the scones plain.
  4. Mix in the buttermilk until it becomes a uniform dough.
  5. Roll into a thick log and cut into 150 or 200g pieces, to make 6 or 8 scones.
  6. Bake at 425F for 20 to 25 minutes (probably closer to 30 minutes+).
