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

Scones à la farine de châtaigne

L’idée de faire des scones me trottais depuis un moment dans la tête mais j’avais envie de quelque chose qui sorte un peu de la recette traditionnelle.  Il me restait de la farine de châtaigne que belle-maman m’avait ramené de Corse, c’est donc vers une inspiration plutôt du Sud que je me suis tournée, drôle d’idée vous allez me dire pour des scones !!! Le résultat est à la hauteur de mes attentes, une base biscuitée croquante à l’extérieur et fondante à l’intérieur avec un bon gôut de châtaigne et pas trop sucrée. 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 !
