spent a week with friends in paradise island and everyone brought along their favorite breakfast ingredients. we never had the same breakfast twice. my favorite of the week was sliced polenta, pan seared in butter, topped with sautéed veggies, sliced roma tomatoes, crumbled bacon and grated cheeses, then baked until bubbly and brown.

Believe it or not, the banana tree did so well this year that we have an absolute surplus of fruit.  N made a banana-chocolate sorbet (blend it all up and freeze), and for breakfast today I decided to make challah French toast with a side of bananas cooked in a brown sugar-butter sauce.

Proving that plating is overrated:

Those look a lot like the scones my mother made in India from "The Landour Community Centre Cookbook", a late 1930ish book (reprinted and reinvented over the years) for the British to feel at home in the "hill stations" of India. I have several editions of the book, including possibly the first. In any case, the recipe there is short-crusty and has eggs, distinguishing itself from the softer biscuit. What were your flour-butter-egg proportions?

ETA: wandering far from breakfast, but

No eggs! (Though I suppose an egg wash might make them prettier).

Ingredients

▢ 384 grams all-purpose flour

▢ 67 grams granulated sugar

▢ 1 tsp salt

▢ 2 1/2 tsp baking powder

▢ 1/2 tsp baking soda

▢ 171 grams unsalted butter frozen and grated (see post)

▢ 250 ml buttermilk

I used kefir in lieu of buttermilk.
