vol.15:Farmhouse omelette and Buttermilk scones (UK)

My name is Benedict-Ann Comberbach. Although I am British, I do have a very mixed background, and grew up in many places. I enjoy experiencing different cultures, love traveling and collecting at least one special item from wherever I have been. Having grown up with different influences from different parts of the world, I have collected some personal favorites and love introducing these when I entertain friends or business colleagues.

About these recipes

The farmhouse omelet is a typical omelet made on a farm, using leftover meats from the Sunday roast (something that is usually served in England) and using the produce of the farm, I do not know if this is British or Scottish but the recipe was given to me by a farmer's wife in England.

The scone is a very traditional recipe from England and Ireland. The scones can be varied - sweet, by adding an ingredient such as raisins or savory, with grated cheese, minus the sugar. Plain milk can be used instead of butter-milk. Scones can be frozen.
