An Intentional (and Electric) Start to the New Year, January 2024 Vol. Nº4
The start of a new chapter, pages unwritten and full of magical possibilities. January is a time for lingering celebrations and cozy nights in. A season of hearty soups and tea and hot cocoa and holiday decor that has yet to be taken down. I love the first few weeks of a new year for they truly allow two sides of us all to flourish. We step onto the first page of the month, dazzling in our finest cocktail attire with anticipation and revelry, and inevitably, as we scribble out the first few sentences of the year, we quietly slip into soft sweat sets with an underlying permission to laze about a bit and dream of what is to come.
January is the best of both glittery and comfy… to celebrate and to hibernate, what a lovely paring! And one that should be approached with a glass of champagne and a whole lot of wonder and intrigue. Find inspiration in the sparkly celebrations & cozy slow mornings of the new year with Le Supper Club. Xx

English Scones - Perfect for slow mornings
Gluten Free English Scones
60 g sugar
1/8 tsp kosher salt
4 tablespoons baking powder
55 g unsalted butter
100 ml buttermilk
50 g crème fraîche
1 egg
buttermilk or cream for brushing the tops (turbinado sugar is great to add too)
Preheat over to 425ºF and line a cooking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine dry ingredients. Add cold butter in 1/2 inch cubes and toss in flour to coat. Using your finger tips, work the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles that of course sand. In a small bowl, whisk together egg, buttermilk and crème fraîche. Pour into flour/butter mixture and work together with the spatula until very roughly combined. Dust a work surface with a bit of flour, and gently work dough together until it just barely holds. Flatten out to about one inch thick and use a floured 1 and 1/2 inch pastry cutter to cut out scones. Press remaining dough together and cut out scones until all dough is used up.
Set scones on the parchment lines baking sheet, spacing them out about 2 inches apart. Brush tops with buttermilk or cream and place in freezer for 20 minutes. Bake for 12-15 minutes until tops are a nice golden brown.
Serve with butter, jam, lemon curd or clotted cream. So light and fluffy and delicious!
