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

In a large bowl mix
525g flour
12g Baking Powder
3/4 tsp soda
1½ tsp salt
21g sugar 
½ cup butter
Any Optional Ingredient (herbs, cheese, olives, meat bits, etc)
1 1/4 cup buttermilk
  1. Combine all the dry in a bowl.
  2. Throw the flour and the butter in a food processor and process until it becomes coarse sand.
  3. Add any Optional Ingredient or leave the scones plain.
  4. Mix in the buttermilk.
  5. Roll into a thick log and cut into 150 or 200g pieces, to make 6 or 8 scones.
  6. Bake at 400F for 20 to 25 minutes.
Fucked Up Scones
695g of fucked up dry mix, then add:
6 g baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
10 g sugar
1/4 c butter
and the full 1 1/4 cup buttermilk (this seems far too little, I've had to add quite a lot to get the dough to stick together and it still might be too dry)
