Chestnut Flour Scones, with buttermilk and ricotta {sans gluten}

Scones Ă  la farine de chĂątaigne

L’idĂ©e de faire des scones me trottais depuis un moment dans la tĂȘte mais j’avais envie de quelque chose qui sorte un peu de la recette traditionnelle.  Il me restait de la farine de chĂątaigne que belle-maman m’avait ramenĂ© de Corse, c’est donc vers une inspiration plutĂŽt du Sud que je me suis tournĂ©e, drĂŽle d’idĂ©e vous allez me dire pour des scones !!! Le rĂ©sultat est Ă  la hauteur de mes attentes, une base biscuitĂ©e croquante Ă  l’extĂ©rieur et fondante Ă  l’intĂ©rieur avec un bon gĂŽut de chĂątaigne et pas trop sucrĂ©e. And what's more, I made them with a small cookie cutter, we only take one bite !

Serve at breakfast time with ricotta, jam or honey.

    Then, the English would be amazed ! What a great idea ! Bon, you know I don't eat cheese, but that doesn't mean yes, give the scones a Corsican side, I think it's great !!! (especially since my brother-in-law is Corsican ! 😉 Kisses my dear !
