We had Welsh
breakfast this morning. I got the inspiration and the main ingredient
from my blogging friend Shaheen from Allotment 2 Kitchen. She
sent me some laverbread as a going away present from Britain, and I
finally got around making something with it. Laverbread is a
traditional ingredient in the Welsh kitchen, and it's basically a
seaweed paste.
I followed
Shaheen's recipe for these savoury Welsh Rarebit Laverbread Scones, but changed it just a little bit by using spelt flour,
oat milk and ground mustard seeds. I also made a bit smaller scones.
I was happy to find Welsh Cheddar in my local supermarket, which was
perfect for these. These scones turned out so nice, and almost fully
disappeared already, but I saved a few to take to work tomorrow.
Another good thing about these is that they can be made very fast and
very easily. What a great Sunday breakfast this was! Thank you so
much Shaheen!

I'm going to have to research Laverbread. I know very little about it!
ReplyDeleteIt's a very interesting ingredient. I still have some left in my freezer, so looking forward to cooking something else with it.
DeleteHow brilliant!
ReplyDeleteThanks to Shaheen's recipe! :)
DeleteI was lucky enough to receive some from shaheen too - it is so weird to look at but delicious in recipes - these scones look fantastic. I'd love one or two to take to work tomorrow
ReplyDeleteYeah, they were really good. Can't go wrong with a savoury scone.
DeleteOh I love your adaptation and the colour on them warming from the golden melty cheese and the flecks of green. I too would love to have taken some into work. I am humbled to be your blogging friend. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you Shaheen, and thank you for the recipe and laverbread, too! We really enjoyed these, the next day there were also very tasty, although of course they are nice when fresh and warm as well.
