Chocolate scones. The perfect recipe for your breakfasts or snacks

These chocolate scones have been with us for many years now. The first sones I prepared in my life were the English classics that carry nothing but basic ingredients and that open in half a leg take them with clotted cream and homemade jam.

But we soon discovered at home the pleasure of adding more ingredients such as raspberries, orange, lemon, pumpkin and of course chocolate!

Scones are a besieged cupcake on the way between cookies and buns. I like to have them at breakfast or in the snack although around here you have to take them at any time.

Roast chicken with apples. The tastiest chicken you've ever cooked at home

This roast chicken with apples is going to become your best mate these days. And after so many days of excesses the body asks for lighter, healthier and more tasty meals because who has said that you can not eat healthy and rich at the same time?

Chocolate truffles. The best gift at the Christmas table

My father loves chocolate in addition to toffee, and this year I sent him from Madrid a box with both delights that put a smile on his face as long as I tried them.

Pear and almond cake. Our breakfast at Christmas

This cake of pears and almonds will be our faithful companion these days: they love the mornings that come now before the festivities in which we get up and put the tree, prepare the gifts for the teachers of school and write the letter to the Magi.

Toffee candy. A perfect gift for everyone

These toffee candies have always been my father's favorites. I've always loved that feeling that they stick to your teeth, it caught my eye when I was little.

These are very easy to make, it's sweet and melted in the mouth unless you sing a rooster.
