The Scottish love a good competition and this summer all through the U.S., Scottish Americans and those that love them or have been inspired by Outlander will go to Highland Scottish Games and Gathering of the Clans.

’ve been searching for the perfect scone recipe.  The one that is simple, an everyday scone that can be eaten plain and with jam and cream, one that is not too sweet and rich, and yet not just flour and water.  I finally found one that is good for me, the buttermilk scone, crispy on the outside and fluffy and flaky in the middle. 

Pear Clafloutis is a near perfect fall teatime treat and very simple to make. In this recipe sliced pears are covered and baked in a batter of milk, yogurt, eggs, sugar and flour with a touch of honey and pear liqueur.
